Fractal lake

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

There seems to be no coherent concept of a 'fractal lake' in the literature. As documented on the talk page, there have been several attempts to source the term to a well-defined concept. I would be open to either deletion or redirection to Fractal. Felix QW (talk) 18:35, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. I deprodded this, thus causing this AFD, but I'm now convinced there is no viable article and the definition offered is both original research and not meaningful. There are instances of the term lake being used descriptively of certain fractal features, but many other geographic terms are used in the same way, such as bay, island, and thread to describe the shape of parts of fractals.  None of these have a formal definition.  They are just handy analogies. SpinningSpark 00:05, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not seem to be a widely used term. PianoDan (talk) 00:16, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
