User:SportingFlyer/GNIS Cleanup

This page is intended to help clean up non-notable, bulk-generated GNIS stubs. The GNIS is a place names database for the United States, and many articles have been created directly from that database. The database has entries for pretty much anything that's ever been on a map in the US and has not proven reliable for determining whether something passes WP:GEOLAND.

The difficulty with procedural/bulk nominations is that it's often difficult to tell whether something has been comprehensively searched to see if it's notable. WP:GEOLAND is a very low notability standard.

Example

 * Centennial, Arizona
 * Searched Newspapers.com, Google, topo maps, no non-directory hits, appears to be a wash without any evidence of any settlement at any point. Strong delete
 * other users place research here

Needs to be checked
This list should be automatically generated if possible.

Ready for nomination
Preferably, each stub will be checked by at least two different users.

Currently Nominated
