Unsourced, unverified. Original article said it was a settlement in the center of the island. Then another editor changed the article to say "off the coast" and added coordinates that put it offshore - but there is no land shown at that location. I can't find any evidence such a place exists. Google hits all appear to be mirror sites. The closest thing I have found is a street in Aruba spelled Bloemond. There is [ [1]], which says Bluemond is near Bloemond st. - but I can't say that is a RS. It might be a small neighborhood, but even if is it does not meet GNG or GEOLAND.

- Comment. GeoNames at NGA.mil says that Blumond is a "populated locality" at 12°32′15″N 69°59′55″W / 12.5375°N 69.998611°W. The coordinates in the article are way off. A Google search mostly gets real estate listings. • Gene93k ( talk) 12:28, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
- update: I have corrected the obvious misinformation in the article. The editor who did this is a Wikipedia admin, so I'll WP:AGF and consider this an honest mistake. • Gene93k ( talk) 13:27, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

- Delete Essentially a WP:TNT at this point. I am unable to find any sources using this spelling (other than the US military database) and neither are there reliable sources about "Bloemond Street" itself. Accordingly, I think we can safely delete this and let someone else start it again when they have enough sources. The content in the article is quite less and I don't think we will lose something significant by deleting this. -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 06:37, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

- Keep. It has been sorted out what this is, apparently a settlement, and the coordinates have been fixed. The !vote invoking "TNT" jumps out at me, as invalid, for the numerous reasons listed out at essay wp:TNTTNT, including that why on earth would we want to destroy what has been figured out, and lose link to this AFD itself, etc., all lost if the article is deleted? Why leave a possibly tricky trap for the next editor to blunder into creating the article anew? An invocation of "TNT" is essentially a concession that a topic is valid, plus a plan to make things more difficult for everyone. (N.B. At another AFD, some editors scream about the fact that I created the essay wp:TNTTNT which I am citing. IMO the essay gives good reasons to keep something like this.) -- do ncr am 23:06, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
