 * Keep. It was a human settlement, at least in the 20th century. I quote:
 * "Mrs. Patterson from Shaw's Landing similarly wrote in 1923, "I cannot teach them properly. Every moment of my time is overworked and it breaks my heart to see them growing up in ignorance." Like Mrs. Patterson, Mrs. Connor Regan from Jackson Bay, BC, wrote in 1925, "I will take on the fourth year work when you send it although I feel incompetent. ... But will do the best I can in dictating at all times" from: Gleason, M. (2017). Families without schools: Rurality, correspondence education, and the promise of schooling in interwar western canada. History of Education Quarterly, 57(3), 305-330. doi:https://doi.org/10.1017/heq.2017.14
 * Additionally it is listed on page LXI of the following book as a port: The Foreign Commerce and Navigation of the United States Calendar Year 1946. United States: U.S. Government Printing Office. (free to read in full on Google Books)
 * So that's multiple mentions, therefore I think gets a pass at WP:GEOLAND CT55555 (talk) 01:55, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Strathcona Regional District; see also Manual of Style/Canada-related articles. Mind  matrix  01:52, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirecting to an article that does not even mention it is an excellent way of wasting readers' time and causing confusion and frustation. SpinningSpark 23:02, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. It has a short, but useful, entry in the Encyclopedia of British Columbia which gives some of the history of the settlement and can be used to expand the article. SpinningSpark 23:14, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per User:Spinningspark. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 19:44, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
