The Swedish Wikipedia article Södermalm argues
that Södermalm is
not an island. I still include it along with other islands within
Stockholm, such as Kungsholmen and Lidingö. Also Södertörn could be included, since both it
and Södermalm can be rounded with a boat. Usually Södertörn is not
seen as an island. Part of the boat passage is a dug canal with a
lock.
It could be argued that some islands of Saint
Petersburg, most notably Vasilievsky Island and Kamenny Island,
should be added. But it is hard to find any statistics on them
which is not in Russian.
Population figures of some small islands of Iceland (f.ex Heimaey are deducted from the population of the
republic of Iceland.
The population figure of Hisingen (a part of Gothenburg) is calculated in the Swedish
Wikipedia article Hisingen to be 126 623.
The population figures of Orust and Tjörn are deducted with 1.000
from the municipalities and rounded, since there are few small
villages on other islands.
The population figure of Ekerö is uncertain, because the municipality of
Ekerö also include some other islands. The figure is roughly
estimated.
Madeira Island of
Portugal is not included, as it is not a European island.
Canary
Islands of Spain are likewise not included, as they are not
European islands either.
References
Population figures are most often from the English, German,
French, Spanish, Italian or Scandinavian Wikipedia pages. They are differing and
uncertain. Sometimes they refer to censuses, sometimes they are
estimates.
