This is a non-notable bay. Nothing of importance has happened here, and the most interesting thing according to the article is "bird watching." --Seascic T/C 21:46, 2 December 2008 (UTC) I am also nominating the following related page:


 * Keep and rename to Braddock Bay. According to the Google hits I perused it actually is an important wildlife habitat even though the article doesn't mention it yet (which might explain why it's a good place for bird watching). Here's some references:
 * http://www.nyswaterfronts.com/downloads/pdfs/sig_hab/GreatLakes/Braddock_Bay_Salmon_Creek.pdf This source specifically calls the place "One of the largest coastal wetland ecosystems in New York State." and mentions the date it was designed along with a list of the wildlife that has its home there.
 * http://nyfalls.com/lakes/ontario-braddockbay.html (not sure if this is fully reliable), but it looks like a good source for tidbits of information, it even has GPS coordinates for the park's entrance.
 * http://a0920405.uscgaux.info/ There is a US Coast Guard Auxiliary in the area.

That's what I found in the first few hits. It looks there's more info to be found. - Mgm|(talk) 22:30, 2 December 2008 (UTC) 
 * Keep and rename Braddock Bay or Braddock Bay State Park (per List of New York state parks). I'm not familiar with the US parks system, but assume that the state parks, being state-registered wildlife reserves, are all sufficiently notable. Espresso Addict (talk) 02:06, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. The co-nomination of Beatty Point was added on 4 December, two days after the original nomination and subsequent to all the above comments; it is unlikely, therefore, to get proper consideration in this AfD. Espresso Addict (talk) 14:25, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge Beatty Point into Braddock Bay as part of a notable park. - Mgm|(talk) 10:13, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as a verifiable geographical location. Naming is an issue for the article talk page. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:03, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep all state parks in the US are notable.Not all are wildlife reserves, but they are notable anyway as major geographic features.  DGG (talk) 04:15, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
