 * Delete duplicate article. --Polaron | Talk 07:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No major Google results for the "title -wikipedia"... it comes up with 2 Answers.com pages, an unrelated page trying to sell me a book on American capitalism, and a blank (except for headings and ads) page from "Encyclopedia Beta". Google Earth and Google Maps have no results. MSN Encarta Atlas comes up with no result. National Geographic's atlas and NationalGeographic.com have no results. I was originally going to say "redirect as possible search term", but I am now confident that this island does not exist. -- saberwyn 09:18, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Paracel Islands &mdash; Gaff ταλκ 21:01, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Paracel Islands has the correct name and more information.  A redirect wouldn't be useful, per Saberwyn. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 21:29, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete duplicated stub. Redirect may be done at editorial discretion. Wooyi 22:29, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment There is a moon crater and Berlin U-Bahn station apparently named for the 16th century chemist Paracelsus. Is it possible these islands were originally named then shortened? I could not find evidence to support my theory so for now I abstain. MarlaB 09:36, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Duplicate article. - Denny 05:57, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, no redirect. Paracelsus had nothing in common with the islands. Pavel Vozenilek 19:24, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
