This Antarctica stub fails
WP:GEOLAND. It is related to a geological/geographical land feature on a continent without permanent human inhabitants and therefore cannot possibly be said to be related to a populated place, still less one with legal recognition. The sole reference is to a USGS survey listing that can be seen
here. This a pure directory-listing, and
Wikipedia is not a directory (and by extension
Wikipedia is not a gazetteer, though it has features of one, and so should not simply reproduce GNIS listings). It is also
not significant coverage since it is the equivalent of a capsule review, being only 45 words long. My
WP:BEFORE search turned up no further references. This therefore fails
WP:GNG.
This article was created by Ser Amantio di Nicolao at 00:51 UTC on 24 March 2008 during an article-creation campaign in which articles were created at a rate of one every 30 seconds or less, apparently by going through the GNIS database in alphabetical order and importing listings directly. That day 93 articles were created in this fashion. I say this not as a criticism of SAdN - 2008 was a long time ago and things were quite different then, indeed editors were encouraged to do this - but as an indication of the scale of the problem which I believe can only be addressed through bulk-deletion. I therefore intend for this to be a test-case on Antarctica geostubs sourced only to GNIS, similar to what was done with the articles on abadi that were sourced only to the Iranian census earlier this year.
