The coordinates give me a boat ramp near Bald Point State Park. I don't think this was ever a community as the article claims. wizzito | say hello! 16:32, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Bald Point State Park: I concur with a redirect here, as this seems to be a controversial but otherwise non-notable housing development. Also, as a tip for the nominator, I highly suggest that you do more of a WP:BEFORE search than just looking at coordinates. For example, the coordinates for Chatham, Florida point to the middle of a swamp, but a search on newspapers.com shows that it is a notable place with a rich history. Just a friendly tip for the nominator Curbon7 (talk) 17:05, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Besides the sources calling it "Chatham Bend" instead of Chatham, that article says "Chatham is an unincorporated community". While Edgar Watson had set up a plantation, none of the articles I found (e.g. [1]) considered it a community – rather, their farm with some workers. Another junk article that should probably be redirected to Chokoloskee, Florida where Watson's history is included. Or add a history section to Ten Thousand Islands.

  - Thanks for the tip, User:Curbon7! I'll be sure to check GNIS info and newspapers.com more regularly. wizzito | say hello! 20:27, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Bald Point State Park Appears to be another "community" fabricated by overzealous Wiki editors. GNIS categorizes it as a "cape". –dlthewave ☎ 20:04, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. USGS maps clearly show this as a peak, not a populated place, in 1943. In 1982 it seems to be mostly the same, with there being no developments visible in the area (although without a peak indicator, it's just the label). Newspaper results talk about it the same way. It's a flood zone. Oh well. It's part of the park, as far as I can tell. jp×g 22:29, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
