This was created many years ago by a banned user. It is unsourced. I don't think it's a hoax, although it seems more likely based on my WP:BEFORE that there are a group of islands called Ragged Islands but not a "settlement" with that name. In any event, even if the place as named exists, I don't believe it meets the low bar of WP:NPLACE. Bbb23 (talk) 16:32, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. This does exist as a group of islands, but not as a named settlement as the article claimed. I've rephrased it accordingly, but cannot find adequate sourcing to say anything more than "this exists, the end" — so even rewritten it still can't stick around without sourcing, but no prejudice against recreation if somebody can write something more substantial with better sources than I've been able to find.
