To be honest, this list is nonsense. Little penguins do not breed in well defined colonies and may occur along vast stretches of coast. For New Zealand we could add about 80% of the country's beaches, bays and coves - and we would end up with a list of some 10.000 place names or more. Unless we put them all in, this list is utterly inaccurate and false to say the least. In my opinion it should be taken off Wikipedia.

You can nominate it at Articles for Deletion, if you feel strongly. Alternatively, as a compromise, introducing some notability thresholds would make it more sensible (e.g. size, fame, well-studiedness). I've copied the non-POV stuff from your comment above into the article. SP-KP 10:41, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
