Fairbank Island (Fairbank Lake)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a small and non-notable lake island, whose only source is WP:ROUTINE inclusion in the Canadian government's "every geographic name that exists anywhere in the entire country" database. As always, per WP:GEOLAND every geographic entity that exists does not automatically require its own standalone article — the standard for natural features is "information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist", so in other words there would have to be something substantive to say and to reliably source about it for an article to become warranted. To be clear, I grew up near this very lake, so this is not lack of familiarity with the topic — there's simply nothing encyclopedically noteworthy to be said about it besides "it exists".

 * Redirect to Fairbank Lake. There is not much content and neither is there any information available about this island. It will be hard to write a full article about it. I have expanded the Fairbank Lake article a bit and mentioned a list of islands there. So redirecting this article seems appropriate.--DreamLinker (talk) 15:27, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
