Greenland can not be it's own continent because it does not posess bio-geo diversity unique to it's own landmass as does say Australia which is itself a large island. Greenland shares much of its geology and Biology with North America. Greenland is also part of the North American tectonic plate.

Is the concept of continent questionable?

Sure. Continents have been conceptualized by convention only. It is accepted that Australia is a continent, but that Greenland is an island. (Greenland has been determined to be a part of the North American continent, a shelf-like extension, so to speak.) However, if Greenland were in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, for example, it could easily be conceived to qualify as a continent.Sure. Continents have been conceptualized by convention only.
