Disputed PROD. Uninhabited island that is just over 3 acres and has no remarkable features. Online search only turns up a short description that describes some grass and nothing else. Sounder Bruce 03:07, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to parent, San Juan Islands#List of islands. It gets a brief description as a member of the archipelago, but there's really nothing to distinguish it. • Gene93k (talk) 03:44, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Additional comment: This island closely follows the example of a failure given at WP:GEOLAND. It is best described as part of its parent landform. • Gene93k (talk) 03:57, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think this would be a stub at best, but it does get written about in a few places beyond mere statistics, such as [1] [2] [3] [4] (apparently within that paper) ([5] non-RS). I don't think WP:GEOLAND is all that far off from being satisfied, but the proper place for this is probably in a list of the San Juan islands, along with a proper description.

Redirect No evidence tiny island is notable, can be covered elsewhere. Gameron46's deprod claim is simply false. Reywas92^Talk 06:06, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Gene93k. CThomas³ (talk) 07:45, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
