- Delete: the fact that the creator was able to find the term "island province" in a single source (the first reference does not use the term and the third is a dead link) does not mean the term in notable. The term seems self-evident, and the "rules" ascribed to it appear to have been made up. ubiquity ( talk) 18:53, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NOT#OR. Stuff like this requires scholarly sources to define the concept. I am unable to find any. I also don't see any value of keeping this kind of unencyclopaedic content on Wikipedia. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 10:32, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete, per WP:V; no RS sources and smacks of OR. Kierzek ( talk) 15:52, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
