Redirect to Greenland and not Geography of Greenland

When there are articles about islands in Wikipedia, the article should discuss the island not only as a geophysical entity but also as place that has seen human use. The following Featured Articles about islands demonstrate that to be comprehensive, the article should also talk about the current and historical human activity on the island:

In addition, the current practice in Wikipedia is to have only one article about an island (or group of islands) and its more-or-less coterminous administrative unit (country, province, state, region, municipality, etc.). The following is a non-exhaustive list of example articles about islands and their administrative units:

Annobón, also an Equatorial Guinean province
Azores (archipelago), also a Portuguese autonomous community
Bali, also an Indonesian province
Bornholm, also a Danish municipality
Canary Islands (archipelago), also a Spanish autonomous community
Corsica, also a French collective territory
Cozumel, also a Mexican municipality
Crete, also a Greek region
Easter Island, also a Chilean province
Hainan, also a Chinese province
Hawaii (island), also a U.S. county
Hokkaido, also a Japanese prefecture
Jeju, also a South Korean province
Phuket, also a Thai province
Prince Edward Island, also a Canadian province
Sardinia, also an Italian autonomous region
Tasmania, also an Australian state

Therefore, the proper destination for a redirect from "Greenland (island)" is Greenland and not Geography of Greenland. —seav (talk) 16:44, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
