I came across this via A7, which doesn't really cover geography per se, so I'm bringing this here. A search brings up nothing that would show that this pond is ultimately remarkable enough for an entry on Wikipedia, so this looks like it would overall fail notability guidelines - although I will admit that I'm not as familiar with the notability guidelines for geography as I am with other facets of the guidelines.

Delete I ran a search on the subject in an effort to find information to improve the article and add some references which the article lacked. The searched produced 0 results other than the Wiki article. The search did produce another, more prominent lake with the same name in the state of Maine. The only link on the page is a dead link so that was no help either in establishing significance or importance of the subject. I vote for deletion of the article or alternatively, merge it into the Myles Standish State Forest article. Cbs527 (talk) 02:24, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect: to the Myles Standish article. I grew up in that forest and love it to pieces, but there are several dozen kettle ponds in it, and even in my biased opinion they're not all notable. Three Cornered Pond is one of the more teensy and non-descript of the lot. (Could be worse; there could be an article on the teensy pond that was called "Nigger Pond" well into the 1970s.)

Merging sounds like a good idea. That someone wrote about this does show that there's an interest of some type. As for the name of the other pond... I'll just say that I'm not surprised that it took them that long to rename it. Over in Virginia we had a hospital for children with severe mental health issues that until 2001, bore the name of Joseph DeJarnette, a die hard eugenics advocate who endorsed the sterilization of anyone they deemed "mentally unfit". Which also included the family of anyone they deemed "mentally unfit". I love supernatural horror, but Freddy Kreuger has nothing on some of the people who have walked this earth.
