Original research list that doesn't satisfy WP:NLIST I am also nominating the the related North, East, and West articles.

Keep There do not seem to be any sources cited for the co-ordinate locations in any of the articles. However, I think the article itself should not be deleted. The concept of the extreme latitudes and longitudes of a country or region is definitely a notable subject, and the concept of compiling and comparing different extreme points in a list should also therefore be notable. Are not some of these locations/points only notable because they are the extreme points of that location? Are you going to delete Extreme points of Africa and other articles at the same time?

My argument applies exactly to that one, so yes? Traumnovelle (talk) 19:38, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Leaning keep all. I agree with Spiralwidget that extremes of latitude and longitude are notable, and therefore listworthy. BD2412 T 17:03, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
comment Assuming that the sourcing can be coughed up, this could just as well exist as a single article with the four extreme points of each country, sortable by each column (NESW). It would not surprise me to learn that there is already a list of countries which contains the information, or for that matter a list of countries by some geographical property to which these data could be added (e.g. a list ranked by area).

Extreme points are a topic covered by some sources, if only in a fun trivia way. Agree with above though that four sortable columns in a single table is likely a better format. List of countries by extreme points, like Extreme points of the European Union/Extreme points of the Commonwealth of Nations only hopefully more notable. CMD (talk) 07:41, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
