This is an entirely unsourced (and unsourceable) article about a small and non-notable island in a small and just barely notable lake; prod was disputed (albeit without explanation or referencing improvements), so I'm bringing it here. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 16:51, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete without prejudice to recreation subject to WP:RS. Geographic features are generally held to be notable enough to sustain articles, but this article is unreferenced, and reads like it may be a hoax article. I'm not familiar with the geography of Ontario, so am AGF that the island may exist and may have been created by the dumping of landfill. Mjroots (talk) 07:42, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as unverified. I even wondered about McArthur Lake, which was created by the same user, but the lake does appear to exist.[1] However I could find absolutely no Google references to a Blueberry Island in this lake, except for the Wikipedia articles. There is absolutely nothing about this supposed island at Google News or Google Books. I wonder if we should delete as unverified the information at McArthur Lake about Blueberry Island? --MelanieN (talk) 03:20, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
