Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Copper Island
A  is in the article showing the origins of the name; and Google searches (http://www.google.com/search?num=50&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=Kuparisaari+Michigna&btnG=Search, http://www.google.com/search?num=50&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=%22Copper+Island%22+Michigan) turn up the name used for businesses, ski clubs, and on tourism sites about the area - so there appears to be adequate material to show that the term is in regional usage.  The nom not having heard it himself is an odd reverse-type  to justify an AfD.  Admittedly the use isn't widespread, but it is in use within the region.  I agree that, worse case a merge and redirect to copper country may be reasonable; but I feel there's enough here to justify an encyclopedic entry for this region
