Loks Land Island

 * — (View AfD)

Non-notable, non-inhabited, frozen 400 km² island in the Canadian artic. Is every speck of land notable enough to be included here? Madman 22:47, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Anthony Appleyard 22:57, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Yes, it can be expanded. When was it discovered? Who by? Who or what is Loks? A lot can be written about such a place, if one has the resources to do so... and should be. And yes, I'd say that most, though not necessarily all "specks of land" are notable enough - especially if they're half the size of NYC, like this one is. Grutness...wha?  05:34, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I've expanded the article a bit, BTW, to show that it's not a lost cause... Grutness...wha?  10:50, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Real place. Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia. --Qyd 14:52, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep it had a DEW line site there at one time, so it's notable enough. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 21:59, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Madman and Qyd. Real island.  Additionally, like the hotly disputed and yet smaller and seemingly insignifficant Hans Island, this area might become important if global warming comes into fruition and this will be part of an important shipping area.  --Oakshade 22:53, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
