Delos island is one of two islands (called Diles - ΔΗΛΕΣ -, plural for Delos). The other island which is larger in area is Rhenia - ΡΗΝΙΑ- .
Didn't Cleopatra have a home in Delos that has been uncovered? (not the cleopatra you're thinking of, just someone with the same name) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.146.156.130 ( talk) 07:14, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Kynthos is a pre-Greek name? What is it, "Indo-European"? How can you make claims like that when Indo-European is a reconstructed, completely hypothetical language. Article has been edited.
The area is probably not 40 km as stated here. In other wikipedias it's 3-4 square km.
In my opinion images look better inlined with the text compared to placed at bottom in a gallery. What do you think? Daniel.Cardenas ( talk) 18:46, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Not colorblind friendly, consider the addition of a map with text or symbols rather than just a color indicator of location. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.149.80.46 ( talk) 09:09, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
It would greatly improve the article -- & better justify its "B" grading -- were a geographical section added: layout of the island (both the Google Map & Open Map images suggest that a conservation area of some kind covers the northern half of the island), & neighboring islands. It would also be a helpful improvement if its later history were provided: when did the island become uninhabited, & how did the archeological sites suffer for it? (I doubt that fishermen systematically demolished its structures & sculptures for the stone -- which were abundantly & more easily obtainable from the rest of Greece.) -- llywrch ( talk) 20:25, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
In the passage about a slave market 2000+ years ago, there is twice a mention of some purported "Italians", which is absolutely ludicrous, as Italy does not exist as even an idea before the 12th century of the common era. Moreover, once it even lists "Romans and Italians". How come that no one who knows more about the specific topic of Delos hasn't edited this? I mean I do not know what it is supposed to mean, but it certainly does not mean what is written there, as it is simply impossible 109.245.187.52 ( talk) 01:15, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

The following coordinate fixes are needed for the coordinates are pointing to Mykonos, not Delos.

I want to get a close-up view of the map. So I click on it to see precisely where Delos is. When I get the magnified view of the map, the red dot supposedly indicating Delos disappears. And that is not good. CountMacula ( talk) 15:17, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
