 * delete GNIS most certainly does not confer notability (based on loads of precedent), and for that matter claims about the nature of the location need to be validated against other sources. Mangoe (talk) 23:23, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Merged into Brown Peninsula.♦ Dr. Blofeld  09:23, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge/Redirect into Brown Peninsula. has already done the merge, so change the article to a redirect. This is the approach recommended in WP:GEONATURAL for named natural features where little more than the name and location are available. The redirect can be turned back into a full article if the isthmus becomes more notable for some reason. Aymatth2 (talk) 14:42, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately there have have been a few editors trying to delete the Antarctica stubs rather than having the common sense to merge the articles themselves. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:28, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes. Wikipedia is meant to be a gazetteer, among other functions. To make the gazetteer complete, minor features that do not warrant a stand-alone article should be listed in a parent article, giving the available information. It is incorrect to purge the information from Wikipedia.Aymatth2 (talk) 17:49, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * No, WP is not intended to be a gazetteer. Frankly I think the statement that it has "some elements of a gazetteer" ought to be struck as contradicting WP:GNG requirements. Mangoe (talk) 19:18, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * The first of the Five pillars says "Wikipedia combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers."
 * Both WP:GNG and WP:NGEO say that topics which do not meet the criteria for a stand-alone article may be covered in another article. In this case, Dreary Isthmus is not notable, but can be covered in Brown Peninsula. Aymatth2 (talk) 16:00, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
