Ferrol, Cape[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

"Cape Ferrol" is not a name recognized in the Canadian Geographical Names Data Base, and a Google search for "Cape Ferrol" Newfoundland turns up only 19th-century sources (like that cited in the article). From the coordinates given in the article and the similarity of names, this may be, or may be near, what is now called the New Ferolle Peninsula at 51°1′29″N 57°4′34″W / 51.02472°N 57.07611°W / 51.02472; -57.07611, but that would be just a guess. I suppose that redirecting to Reefs Harbour-Shoal Cove West-New Ferolle would be a possibility; but given the nonstandard inversion of the title and the uncertainty of the identification, deletion seems the better course.

Delete. This might very well be the New Ferolle Peninsula as Deor suggests, but we'd need a source to verify that rather than simply assuming it to be true — and even if it is, WP:GEOLAND wouldn't guarantee it an automatic inclusion freebie just for existing, if all we could do was state that it exists but couldn't actually say or source any significant information about it besides stating that it exists. Also, we don't invert names of geographic entities as Wikipedia article titles — so even if it is really the New Ferolle Peninsula, there wouldn't be any value in retaining this title as a redirect to the correct place (though no prejudice against creation of a new redirect from the correctly ordered title, if desired and verified.)
