Fails WP:GEOLAND: "Named natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist". Article provides no further information except for the fact that it exists. -- Tavix ( talk ) 13:50, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Can't find anything which would help expand the article. Doesn't help there's a more popular Spectacle Island near Boston, Massachusetts. SportingFlyer  talk  01:22, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Likely Delete. There are two Spectacle Islands, neither in Warwick Parish. The one in Southampton Parish -- unmarked on GMaps for some reason -- helps form Jew's Bay. The one in Paget Parish -- "Specacle Island" on Gmaps -- forms part of the boundary of Hamilton Harbour, and was allegedly the birthplace of Jenaya Wade-Fray Sources disagree which used to be known as Hunt's Island, the location of the 1844 Bermuda Native Yacht Club, Bermuda's first yacht club but it appears likely that the Southampton one is the right one. Warwick Parish is more proximate to the Southampton one, but the coordinates presented are for the Paget one. Worse, White's Island also used to be known as Hunt's Island (so sources referring to Hunt's can't be used unthinkingly). I wouldn't object to redirection to and capsule coverage at List of islands of Bermuda, if unimpeachable sources were to show that at one time one of these islands were administratively in Warwick, but coverage of the minor islands at that article would require a bunch of work to turn into a more fully-featured list or even more a Fully Featured List. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 11:11, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect, probably to List of islands of Bermuda, its named/anchored row in the fine new table in the list-article, well on its way to becoming Fully Featured. :) An island is a geographic feature, so could arguably be presumed notable, but we don't need a separate article for each one unless/until there is more to say.  Note the row includes coordinates from the article, which definitely do point to an island in Bermuda;  I am assuming this is a real island, not a fraud, though the row's description column could be tagged as needing source or whatever.  I don't know how to see parish boundaries (like MapQuest shows counties in the U.S.). ’’map now at Talk of list-article supports this location being in Warwick.’m  Locations can be seen in linked GeoGroup maps.  Help further developing the excelllent table would be appreciated.  --Doncram (talk) 02:19, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
 * P.S. Assuming this AFD closes "Redirect", following this example it would be appropriate IMHO to redirect Theta Island, Bermuda to its row, List of islands of Bermuda, and so on for more islands currently having minimalistic articles, without requiring another AFD. --Doncram (talk) 02:31, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Further note: It is simply better for readers about any of these islands to arrive at the row in the list-article, so that they can see relative information and have perspective about the island of their primary interest, including by seeing it on a map of all of them. An island should be split out to a separate article only if absolutely necessary. --Doncram (talk) 02:51, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
