Bartlett Rock (Essex County, Massachusetts)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Seems to fail the GNG (unless this is actually something more than just a rock that gives it inherent notability). Yaksar (let's chat) 02:12, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Strange, there's another Bartlett Rock in Plymouth County that suffers from the same issue as this one. Again, I couldn't find any evidence that this rock was a tourist attraction, a famous location, or otherwise.  Again, I still found some geographic websites that did name it and provide coordinates, but nothing describing the location in detail.  If someone can find something with significant coverage of the subject, let me know.  Otherwise, well, not all rocks can be the Rocky Mountains, so delete.

 * Comment I suspect that this is a navigation hazard. If so, it's a small island and likely the subject of significant commentary; for example, we might find accounts of ships that have hit it or of other uses, especially in local histories.  I can't be sure about any of this, so I'm not going to say "keep", but this is clearly not just a random piece of stone.  Nyttend (talk) 14:31, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Yup, I believe you are correct. It apparently rises 2.5 feet above the water at low tide, or at least it did back in 1879. We don't have an article about Sandy Bay, Rockport, so this article seems a curious addition. If somebody wants to save it, I'd suggest creating an article about the bay instead and merging there. Personally I support a delete. Regards, RJH (talk) 02:53, 21 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
