Bear Creek Reservoir
No notability, and almost no information. All this article says is that the reservoir is located in Franklin County, Alabama. Diez2 18:24, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. It seems that there's enough verifiable information out there for someone to make a proper article out of this e.g. this EPA report, this TVA page. Demiurge 18:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - the reservoir does exist and is a 12 mile long body of water. Will probably need non-web references to expand the article much beyond stub status.--Hatch68 18:49, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I wish editors would not just rush around creating as many stubs like this as possible, but that they would instead take the time to put some info in the article. If it is a manmade lake, what river was dammed, and when, and why? How many miles of shoreline does it have? Is it important to recreation, flood control, transportation, or just drinking water? See Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley for examples of articles with some substance. Edison 19:42, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: Articles for deletion/Precedents says "Major geographical features such as lakes, rivers, mountains, etc., are notable." There's potential here, I say expand with sourced content. --Howrealisreal 19:50, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Hatch68 and Howrealisreal. --Oakshade 22:11, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep this is a pretty sparse stub but it could be expanded. Wisdom Like Silence 00:45, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - I'm not in favor of one-sentence stubs, but at least it is a start. B.Wind 00:57, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
