The result was delete. There's only one valid "keep" opinion (the other making no argument). Rough consensus is that in the absence of sources discussing this category of counties as such, making a list of them is indiscriminately collecting information, as well as original research.

Pure trivia with no meaning, significance, or sources establishing the notability of island counties as a group. Unnecessary original research that combines some counties that are actually entirely on islands with other that are composed of both islands and mainland. While of course the islands of the United States may have their own unique transportation and maritime issues, there's no indication what these have to do with county government or borders.

Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group. One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list.(emphasis mine). This is not demonstrated. eviolite (talk) 22:42, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
