Alpha Island

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

One of a hundred non-notable uninhabited remote Antarctic islands. Article has no references, and does not qualify under WP:GEOLAND or separately under WP:GNG. Has not received any non-trivial coverage in reliable independent sources. WP:EXISTence doesn't mean notability, WP:MAPOUTCOMES not withstanding. KDS4444 (talk) 07:16, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Has received non-trivial coverage in sources [1], the unsourced material may need to be removed for verifiability is an issue. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 00:50, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per source identified by User:Champion, and presumably other mentions of this small, cold island. Some other editor may boldly merge it into Palmer Archipelago if that were restructured to hold a bit more detail on the individual islands. Aymatth2 (talk) 01:26, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The mention of the island in the reference above is a WP:TRIVIAL one that does not include any in-depth coverage. But perhaps a merger into the Palmer Archipelago article would be more appropriate than deletion. KDS4444 (talk) 15:21, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
