The Most Promoinent Islands?
edit"... the most prominent islands ..."? How was that decided? Would it be acceptable to add more?
Japan does have nearly 7,000 islands with over 400 of them inhabited.
For example, Yakushima, off the coast of Kyushu, has this in its Wikipedia article: "The island, 504.88 km2 (194.94 sq mi) in area, has a population of 13,178.". How does an island that big in size and population not rate inclusion but several with no Wikipedia article at all do?

- Agree, I think this list would actually be useful if a criteria was defined. Example: all inhabited Islands or Islands larger than X. No criteria means we don't know what prominent islands are missing, making this list not useful. Nidaana (talk) 11:24, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
