An unreferenced stub which reads more like a travel guide (which Wikipedia is not) than an encyclopaedia entry. Simple Bob (talk) 08:16, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree the present stub is not encyclopedic and as it stands is a candidate for deletion. However, I think that because Booby's Bay is a distinct geographical feature of the north Cornwall coast it should be the subject of an article – after all, one of the aims of WP:Cornwall is to provide comprehensive coverage of the county.Andy F (talk) 16:21, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - Besides geographical features like this are generally notable, this one appears notable for geologic reasons, particularly due to fossil findings here.--Oakshade (talk) 17:26, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep named geographical places like this tend to be notable enough for articles, and this one appears to be a local tourist attraction. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:50, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep but subject to the comments above – the article needs re-writing Andy F (talk) 18:45, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Either Keep or Merge to Padstow. I do not think we can have an article on every sandy cove or beach.  Peterkingiron (talk) 23:42, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
 * In reply to Peterkingiron, if the article is to be merged, it would be more appropriately merged with adjacent Constantine_Bay or nearby Trevose Head because Padstow is five miles away – on that basis one could argue that places such as Harlyn, Trevone, St Merryn, Treator, Petherick, Rock, Trebetherick, Polzeath, St Minver and several others be merged into Padstow.
