There are nearly 3,200 named lakes in Alaska, about 0.1% of all lakes statewide. So, lots and lots of lakes that aren't really notable, and I don't see anything about this one that makes it notable. The article basically says "it exists, some guy named it, it's near this other stuff with no article." Beeblebrox ( talk) 21:41, 2 December 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Slight issue with that idea: If you look at the talk page of that list, you will see a discussion of weather that list should include lakes with no article at all, as, again, there are over 3,000 named lakes out of the 3,000,000 total lakes in Alaska. If we list all the named lakes that list would get quite ridiculous, yet that is what one user is attempting, a 3000-item list. Beeblebrox ( talk) 00:20, 3 December 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Ah, but further down that same page WP:CSC states "if a complete list would include hundreds or thousands of entries, then you should use the notability standard to provide focus to the list" so it's not as cut-and-dried as all that. I've just opened an RFC over there to discuss this matter further. Beeblebrox ( talk) 00:46, 3 December 2020 (UTC) reply
