OK, this time, the feature is plainly there, and it's a hill, as described: but is a hill notable? I found one incidental mention in the preface to this poem, but Google translate was not helpful. Mangoe ( talk) 10:59, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

- In general named geographics are often (but not always) considered notable, but I can't see anything relevant about it. Prince of Thieves ( talk) 17:09, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- I'd almost start up a policy discussion on these stubs to better delete them. I'm having trouble deciding how to vote myself. SportingFlyer ( talk) 19:38, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- My understanding is the policy already allows deletion of less relevant stubby articles, it's not giving any "inherent notability", merely stating Named natural features are often notable. In fact it says:
Named natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist. This includes mountains, lakes, streams, islands, etc. The number of known sources should be considered to ensure there is enough verifiable content for an encyclopedic article. If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the feature can instead be included in a more general article on local geography. For example, a river island with no information available except name and location should probably be described in an article on the river.
- So in this situation, this hill may be mentioned in the article on the geography of the region, since it cannot be developed using known sources. Prince of Thieves ( talk) 19:54, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
