- Keep – These articles fully qualify per
WP:NOTDUP relative to
Category:Islands and subcategories therein. They are also functional navigational aids per
WP:LISTPURP. The lists are not indiscriminate because virtually all of the links are blue-linked to valid Wikipedia articles. The few that are redlinked can be verified with sources. Also, the lists are quite easily maintainable, as evidenced by their neat and organized state at this time. See
WP:NOEFFORT regarding articles that are not being continuously worked on. Also, this copy/paste nomination states that there are 26 articles nominated (
diff), but only
List of islands by name has the AfD template on it.
