[edit] additions and reorganization explained
Additions: I've added a lot more islands and island groups. The list is still not complete.
Reorganization: The list is now organized by national/territorial administrative group. Where islands are dependencies, their parent country is listed parenthetically.
Inhabited: I propose that the list primarily focus on inhabited islands, as there are thousands of uninhabited islands. Go ahead and add uninhabited islands, but they should probably be marked as such. A few of the islands listed now are barely inhabited (Marina Cay has electricity but only 3 customers).

- the Bahamas alone has over ~ 700 Islands, and Cayes. This article will become very long if every little piece of rock is listed. ;-)
- Also Silver Islands in Barbados? Where's that??? CaribDigita 18:50, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- I don't think every island should be listed (nor do I think there's any danger of that happening). But if there's an uninhabited island which has its own page, I think it should be linked.
- And I second your question on the Silver Islands, as I also have no clue.

What is actually wrong with listing every island? (the excuse of the article becoming "too long" aside.........)
[edit] Merge with Caribbean
There's a separate list of islands on the Caribbean page. I think I've added all of the islands here to it (though if someone wants to check, that would be great). Rather than maintain two separate lists, does it make sense to redirect this to Caribbean? --Gruepig 19:05, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
- Redirecting to List of Islands in the Caribbean, which still exists. — Reinyday, 06:04, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
No redirect.
- I assume on the Caribbean page you'd want the main islands, or island groups listed. The purpose of this Article is to list the islands: Enuff Said. (And I have seen rocks listed here and there. Some are famous.[Baja Calif. Sur islands?]) (Notes from SonoranDesert Arizona).. -Mmcannis 00:20, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Why have the San Blas Islands (Panama) been excluded from the list of Caribbean Islands? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrmccord (talk • contribs) 14:37, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
