 * Before that major edit, at this revision, I don't see much, if any, promotional content, and has many citations. I'll restore that revision. ~ Eejit43 ( talk ) 13:49, 4 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep seems to be a notable enough land form (island) or neighborhood of Doha. Think the article should be viewed in a similar context to similar (man-made island) neighborhoods of Dubai, such as: Deira Islands, Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Jumeirah.

 * Keep As Epluribusunumyall has said, it is as notable as other man-made islands, notably in Dubai. The tone of the article has at times been heavily promotional, but the current version, reinstated by Eejit43 is more neutral. The title does need to be changed, but I initially baulked at the suggestion that it be "The Pearl Island, Qatar" (wouldn't "Pearl Island, Qatar" suffice?). The use of the definite article, a capitalised 'The', should usually be avoided (see WP:THE), but there are clearly multiple sources which call it 'The Pearl Island' (a branding style apparently created and maintained by the island's developer, UDC), so I guess it could be regarded as similar to a company name like The Coca-Cola Company and other examples given in the article naming guidance.

 * comment - The Facebook references should be removed and replaced by reliable sources. Paul W (talk) 14:33, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I've already shared the list of reliable sources for the name change (whhich is now "The Pearl Island"). please check the news articles one by one to confirm the name change. Shamailaijaz (talk) 10:04, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
