I see there have been several edits recently regarding whether Gavdos is disputed. I did some googling and found out this [1]. I quote the relevant text here:

Contradicting recent statements by Turkish political leaders, the president of the Turkish Liberal Democratic Party Bisim Tibuk said in Athens yesterday that there were no "grey areas" in the Aegean.

"There are no grey areas in the Aegean, there is no problem with Gavdos, all this is a small, bureaucratic mistake," he said after meeting Athens Mayor Dimitris Avramopoulos at City Hall.

"Eighty or 90 per cent of Turks want peace and friendship with Greece," Mr. Tibuk continued, who has been honored with the Ipekci Award for his work toward the promotion of Greek-Turkish friendship.

Ofcourse the text is dated in 1996, so I don't know if anything has cropped up inbetween, but unless anyone can come up with serious references that the island is in fact in dispute, I think the article needs to be deleted from the category Aegean dispute grey zones.
