Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of countries by length of coastline (2nd nomination)
Arguing the methodology of sourcing is a valid and noble pursuit, but it belongs on a talk page. The nominator rightly shows that the "length" of a coastline is dependent upon the scale of measure but that isn't a rationale to delete the page. Unless we presume that the ranking itself is original research (and I don't see that claim advanced or supported), we don't have a compelling reason to delete the page. I would submit that turning an alphabetized list into an ordinal list by some feature is well within the sphere of "naive operations" permitted by . Keep this article
