Mayflower Beach

Non-notable beach. Little to no reliable sources. Patar knight - chat/contributions 00:45, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - I can find no reliable news sources that discuss the subject of this article. There are many references made to the beach by websites about beaches (specifically Cape Cod).  I consider those to be third parties that have no interest (monitary) on promoting this location.  [WP:RS] doesn't specifically address this situation (that I can find) so I'm going with my gut here.  If that many websites on beaches reference this beach, it seems notable to me.

 * Keep beaches are notable, as are geographical features and large social gathering areas.Troyster87 (talk) 03:27, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep is covered in several Google Books and also by several reliable sites about beaches. - Mgm|(talk) 10:43, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The books found via Google Books don't rate this beach too highly, only briefly mentioning it, and giving it two stars, while numerous other locations get more.Also, according to this book,, the book is 1200 feet. If beaches are typically measured by their length, then it is definitely a geographic feature of some significance. If it is 1200 ft. squared, then it is about 0.0208% the size of an American football playing field, and not that significant. Unless of course, any beach is inherently notable regardless of size, in which case, I will withdraw my nomination. --Patar knight - chat/contributions 23:24, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I found information on this beach easily enough; all the article needs is a little cleanup and some information added to it, maybe a picture. Ks64q2 (talk) 04:43, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Dennis, Massachusetts. The Dennis article covers the town's beaches already, although it doesn't have a lot of coverage.  --Elkman (Elkspeak) 16:33, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Elkman until there's something more to say about the place than that it exists. Stifle (talk) 19:33, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
