When is an island an island, and when is it big enough to be "land"?

Sorry but this stupid question is in my mind since this morning.

There isn't a hard definition. But generally if the above-water landmass is on one continental plate, like Australia, and is reasonably depicted as an island on maps, then it is an island.

To depict Europe as an island, you would need a map that stretches halfway around the world to the Bering Strait and would include all of Mainland Asia and the Middle East, spanning multiple distinct tectonic plates.
