Appears to be a non-notable island; only source offered is a Google map which does not label the island, and gives no indication that it is a recognised populated place. This is a translation of the French Wikipedia article, which offers no other source. Was previously PRODded with no reason specified (half an hour after creation, when it was in a shambles), and dePRODded on basis of "no stated reason to delete" (by which time the original editor had tidied it up).

Comment The substantial French wikipedia article about the town of Civray appears to make no mention of this island ( I searched it for "juillet"). PamD 13:19, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete Zooming in on Google Maps I see an island which has a "Place du 14 Juillet" on it, but the island itself is unnamed on the sources I have. Searching the French name produces almost nothing, an much of that is obviously WP mirrors. Mangoe (talk) 01:25, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
