Draft:List of islands in Lakshadweep
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lakshadweep, a union territory of India, contains 36 islands and reefs officially listed by the Indian government. Lakshadweep is an archipelago with 32 km2 (12 sq mi) total area spread across twelve atolls, three reefs, and five submerged banks. The list of islands and reefs includes ten officially inhabited islands (eleven if unofficially inhabited Bangaram is included), seventeen uninhabited islands and attached islets (sixteen if Bangaram is excluded), four newly formed islets, and five submerged reefs.[1] Lakshadweep, whose capital is Kavaratti,[2] is a single district across all islands,[3] with ten sub-divisions,[4] one elected district panchayat,[5] and 88 elected village panchayats across islands.[5]

Comment: How is this different from Laccadive Islands, I understand this draft is an administrative entity, and other geographical; anything else? User4edits (talk) 12:03, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
Comment: Draft was procedurally declined for "close paraphrasing", but this was not close paraphrasing but rather importing text from other Wikipedia articles. As the required attribution in the edit summary has been supplied, I am going to procedurally re-submit this on the behalf of the original IP editor, without any judgment as to whether this should be accepted in its current form.

Comment: In addition to the close paraphrasing issues, I'd also wonder whether this page needs to exist as a separate page at all, or if it's contents could/should be included in the broader Lakshadweep article. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 18:18, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
Comment: All objections have been refuted. 1. There in no close paraphrasing but attributed imported text. 2. One administrative entity, and other geographical, hence this article is differentiated and deserves to exist. 3. This article is detailed list with much more details and "scope for further expansion" than the higher level union territory level summary article, hence deserves to exist. 4. Those making frivolous objections must also self-asses if their own edits on other articles stand up to the same standards e.g. "refuted" objections they are providing here, please use self-restraint self-screening self-discipline and no lazy objections. I am resubmitting. Please make it iteratively collaborative and pleasant experience to contribute, not excessively bureaucratic to clock up some counts and earn some tags. Thank you. 220.255.242.109 (talk) 20:32, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
