Palumbato Island

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

While I can verify this island exists, and has a name, and it even has weather, there seems to be no other information about it that I can find. It doesn't appear to be populated. It doesn't appear to pass WP:GEONATURAL or WP:GNG.

There is a Lsjbot-created article about the island on the Cebuano Wikipedia: ceb:Palumbato Island GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 21:59, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

 * WP:GEONATURAL is one of the lowest notability hurdles on the site. There are two scholarly articles I can find in English and one book on the island's geology, but they're just blurbs:, and mentioned several times in Tectonic Significance of Basement Complexes and Ophiolites in the Northern Philippines (Geary, 1986). There are also several books with instructions on how to navigate around it when piloting a boat which describe it. It is also just over 100m long at its widest point. I think the most correct thing to do is mention it at Tailon Island, which has a lighthouse and should be notable, and a quick search shows may have been renamed, but no one has written that article yet, and there's not a whole lot more there to be honest.

 * Delete My searches have failed to produce any evidence of coming anywhere near of satisfying Wikipedia's notability requirements, and the article itself provides nothing other than the fact that the island exists. JBW (talk) 19:39, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Comment - Elihu Root Collection of United States Documents Relating to the ..., from 1908 mentions the island, as one of 3 small islands of the Tanao Islands. Perhaps better to move to Tanao Islands and describe the three islands together? The book has a brief description of the nature of the island "Palumbato, the western island, is 49 feet high, bare and conspicuosly flat on top". --Soman (talk) 00:57, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
