File talk:Oceania, broad (orthographic projection).svg

  This file was recently in use in en:Oceania. However, I can find no definition of Oceania that includes The Philippines and Indonesia (except eastern New Guinea). They are universally included in Asia, as far as I can tell. What is the point of this map? −−St.nerol (talk) 21:44, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

You didn't look very hard. There are lots of sources that include Sumatra and Luzon in "Oceania". In a few-minute Gbook check, I found two sources with an even broader definition: Sebeok ed. Current Trends in Linguistics, vol 8 Linguistics in Oceania, Mouton 1971, includes the Philippines and even Madagascar as the western extent of "Indonesia". (Of course, this is a linguistic book, and Malagasy is an Indonesian language linguistically.) Then Webster (1925) History of the Modern World says, "The term Oceania, or Oceanica, in its widest sense applies to all the Pacific islands. The continental group includes, in addition to the Japanese Archipelago and Formosa, the Philippines, the Malay Archipelago, Australia, and Tasmania." Kwamikagami (talk) 09:30, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
