Unsourced. I can find no evidence of this summit passing WP:GEOLAND, nor can it be found in GNIS. Lennart97 ( talk) 20:07, 22 November 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. USGS domestic names search shows four entries for Honey Hill in New York state but none are in Herkimer County. RedWolf ( talk) 20:36, 30 November 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Someone created hundreds of thousands of these hills in New York State, hills that have no special features other than a name, and it's good to be levelling them. Geschichte ( talk) 21:15, 1 December 2021 (UTC) reply
    • The creator of this particular article, 420Traveler, is actually very much still active, creating a new article every few days, although recent creations seem to be decently sourced. I contacted them on their talk page a few weeks before nominating this article, but got no response, and apparently they haven't taken notice of this AfD either.

      • I contacted them as well about GNIS stubs and they said there are sources but they haven't been added yet. I'm not sure that an editor who thinks it's OK to move such an article to mainspace should have Autopatrol permission, however it looks like most of their articles end up being sourced in the end. – dlthewave 22:01, 1 December 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Delete.Lets not drag this out any more, I agree to delete this, must have been a mistake that it was created. Also, @Dlthewave as far as having Autopatrol permission, look at all the articles ive created and expanded to GA status such as many of the Kansas highway articles, river articles, lake articles. Also look up the description of a stub article. - 420Traveler ( talk) 09:02, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply
Of course you've done a lot of good article expansions as well, I'm not trying to take away from that, and it looks like most of your recent creations are well-sourced. But there's also pretty strong consensus that creating geo stubs with no sources or sourced only to GNIS is disruptive as other editors must do the legwork to verify that the place actually exists and search for secondary coverage. I would hope that an Autopatrolled editor could be trusted to never do that. – dlthewave 14:23, 2 December 2021 (UTC) reply
