[edit] Barstow Rock
This is a hunk of rock on the bottom of a harbor off the coast of Massachusetts, USA. You can see it on a nautical chart here - this indicates that at low tide, it's under eight feet of water. Some rocks, maybe even some underwater rocks, are encyclopedic - but I don't see any evidence that this one is. CDC (talk) 21:09, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Delete if it had some historical significance, like being the site of a famous shipwreck, I could see keeping it. But just being a rock is not notable enough to keep. Allegrorondo 21:21, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. A barren, otherwise unnotable rock on the sea floor is not encyclopedic. Suggest if author wants to keep, he merge rocks into articles by harbor. Sdedeo 21:47, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
- Keep or merge by harbor. Kappa 22:12, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
- Either merge with the harbor, or delete, but there shouldn't be an article at this location. Meelar (talk) 22:16, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

- Delete nn unless something important happened at this rock. --Etacar11 02:56, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. No more rocks! Gamaliel 09:01, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, an article on an underwater rock? This is getting silly. Proto t c 11:43, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete by smashing against submerged and insufficiently referenced rocks. I would vote "keep" if famous shipwrecks were widely reported as happening here, or if widely notable songs described the challenges of avoiding this rock while sailing a whaling vessel. Barno 00:35, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
