Kennebunkport Breakwater Light

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Not notable. The light at the end of the breakwater in Kennebunkport is unnamed in the current light list, and none of the usual sources for New England lighthouses (LHF, D'Entremont, USCG historical) mentions it or any predecessor. The only trace of any notability is a Lighthouse Digest catalog listing for a very old light which Rowlett references and which has little more than some statistics. As a rule we haven't considered this sufficient for an article, and the modern light is definitely not notable. If the article is kept it should be moved back to Kennebunk Pier Light and the current name deleted, as there's no evidence it has ever been called that. Mangoe (talk) 18:08, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

 Delete as the US Coast Guard Light List (p. 108) indicates this is just a navigational beacon - a notch above a buoy. This article was first written in 2009 and there does not appear to be anything of significance about this light (such as a role in some accident) to merit a stand alone article.

 * Delete Kennebunkport Breakwater Light, and redirect Kennebunk Pier Light to List of lighthouses in Maine, where information on it (but by no means whatsoever the current "light", which is a marker of which there are over nine thousand in the US, on every navigable waterway, all alike) should be added. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:57, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Just for the record, this appears to be the light in question...! - The Bushranger One ping only 23:59, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
