Unless I am wrong, and I do not believe that I am, this page and Shikotan are about the exact same geographical area, which is the disputed Shikotan/Spanberg Island in the Kurils.
I understand that the subject of this page is about the political district, and not the island itself; but due to the fact that they are mutually inclusive of each other, plus the ongoing territorial dispute, I am following the "disputed regions" guideline in WP:GEOLAND, and recommend the merger per criteria "1. duplicate" and "3. short text" of WP:MERGEREASON. --Nemoschool (talk) 19:10, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

- I think it makes sense. It is of course awkward that the article is about a Japanese entity, and the island is currently Russian, but redirects should solve this problem.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:34, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
