Merge With Dyer?
This page has a number of problems:

1) The coordinates 37°41′40.88″N 118°04′41.91″W don't correspond with any of the Fish Lake GNIS entries in Nevada.

2) GNIS does list a that is 14 miles northeast of 37°41′40.88″N 118°04′41.91″W

3) The article states "A post office opened in Fish Lake Valley in 1881." However  is located at the same location as  and the Fish Lake Post Office (historical) GNIS entry says: "PO Oct 1881-Feb 1887".

4) 37°41′40.88″N 118°04′41.91″W is about 2 miles north west of Dyer, Nevada.

Perhaps the thing to do is to merge the contents of this article with Dyer, Nevada.

There could be a separate article for Fish Lake (Historical), which also had a post office.

The Fish Lake Valley, Nevada Historical Marker 133 marker has a few problems:

1) "Carson and Columbus Stage Line", referred to by the marker has very few references in books, newspapers or web pages. The one other obvious original source is another historical marker Tate's Stage Station, Tate's Stage Station (1886-1901) Nevada Historical Marker 217

2) Nevada Historical Marker 133 states 'This marker commemorates the life and times of W.O. Harrell, known as "Harrell, the Irrepressible, Citizen Extraordinaire of Fish Lake Valley in the 1870's."' W.O. Harrell does seem to be a real person, but nothing about his life is known.

I'm not sure if there is much to be done about the marker.Cxbrx (talk) 12:48, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
