Ok (glacier) → Ok (volcano) – http://icelandreview.com/news/2014/01/17/ok-glacier-not-ok says that its icecap has just about disappeared and is only 0.7 square kilometers in size as at January 2014. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:36, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

• Oppose. All of the coverage of this issue concerns how this block of ice is, or used to be, "Iceland's smallest glacier." The area of the shield recently fell below the official glacier minimum, so Ok has been plutoed. As for the volcano, it is not even mentioned in the article linked to above.

• support - Ok deserves an article per WP:GEOLAND. There are plenty of WP:RS on Ok, even focusing entirely on its glacial demotion. The question is: what's in the parenthetical. "Glacier" seems to be out, and "volcano" seems reasonable to me. de Bivort 17:48, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

• How about "ice shield" or "former glacier"? Clodhopper Deluxe (talk) 02:28, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

• It should be (volcano). It's referred to as such in the geological literature: [1] de Bivort 02:35, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

This is NOT a move review ...

... but one would be fully justfied. It seems not to have occurred to any of the discussants that unless you are a member of the siblinghood of glacier trekkers no one but glacier counters cares about that minimum. There may be parameters including area, snofall rate, heat-flow densities above and below, thickness, and more that contribute to degree of interest in a glaciier, but the idea that an icelandic statistician stopping paying attention bcz of one parameter changes what the title of our article should be, is ridiculous. In fact, whether the glacier still has any ice at will only slowly affect the degree to which its significancereflects the place's role in the past, the ongoing present, and the anticipable future. We keep updating facts and changes, but we are far from being Nowpedia.
