Article about a small lake island, whose only discernible claim of notability is that it exists. As always, WP:GEOLAND does not confer an automatic freebie on every named geographic feature that simply exists -- notability for islands of this type depends on being able to state and reliably source some degree of substantive information about it beyond the mere fact that it exists, but there's no evidence of that being shown here.

  • Weak keep. Done what I could do to improve the article quality, which is admittedly not much. It appears that the Cleveland Herald reported the total loss of a ship that went aground on Ghegheto Island in 1884, but I don't have immediate access to the 28 November 1884 newspaper needed to include that (this is not a reliable source). I'm not sure whether that passes the WP:GEOLAND retention bar or not. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 14:02, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge and Redirect. Agree with nom that this island is not notable, and according to Lake Huron, one of 30,000 islands in the lake. But there is some useful and sourced info here that should be retained in some article much as the way non-notable neighborhoods are routinely be mentioned articles on their city/town. List_of_islands_of_Ontario#Lake_Huron already exists but would need some formatting changes to handle short descriptions as that is currently a "pure" list of names. The vast majority of islands in this list are red-links and I presume most of these don't warrant articles either. So adding info into the list article may be the best place for it.
