BEFORE searches did not return any significant coverage for this tiny island; it is only mentioned briefly in passing. Does not seem to be a likely search target for a redirect. –dlthewave ☎ 17:05, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

- Keep: Potential keep. A google search brings up several websites with some listing tours and others showing information about the island, which would fall under significant coverage of WP:GNG. -- StarryNightSky11 ☎ 01:36, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- StarryNightSky11, would you be willing to share a few of those links? –dlthewave ☎ 16:11, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- There's this kinda small but maybe relevant, and this. Review and see what you think of them. -- StarryNightSky11 ☎ 21:23, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- Well, the first one is a Foursquare listing with no information beyond the location, so it doesn't contribute to notability. I'm not even sure whether Foursquare verifies these entries or just scrapes them from geographic databases.
- The second is an article about a completely unrelated island with pigs on it in the Bahamas. –dlthewave ☎ 00:22, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
- Oops no good here then. -- StarryNightSky11 ☎ 01:44, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

- Comment - not sure. If it is kept, a hatnote to Pig Island (Bahamas) should be created. Bearian (talk) 18:34, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
