The result was   merge to The Adventures of Captain Hatteras. There's no consensus to delete this article but I think the sources are still a little weak. I'm closing as "Merge" with no prejudice against keeping if stronger sources can be found (non-admin closure) Ron Ritzman (talk) 23:47, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Doesn't seem to be a WP:Notable topic meriting an article. —Largo Plazo (talk) 21:45, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The island described by Jules Verne in his novel is hypothesized based on scientific knowledge at the time (1866). It is notable especially in that it foreshadows later claims to the existence of Crocker Land, Bradley Land, or other large Arctic islands.  The novel includes detailed description of geographical features.  I will expand the article with further information. Goustien (talk) 21:54, 9 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge to The Adventures of Captain Hatteras. This only seems to be notable in the context of the book, so, as the book article has plenty of room for more content, it would seem that the that would be the best place for this information. If any sources are offered in this AfD for coverage outside of Jules Verne's book then please treat this as a keep. Phil Bridger (talk) 23:03, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

 * I have added sources, so I hope this will justify a keep per Phil Bridger. Goustien (talk) 05:21, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
