Article appears to fail WP:NGEO, although my Chinese is a bit rusty. Andrew327 01:02, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment: Your Chinese being "a bit rusty" is not a valid pretext for anything. 2) However, I note that the highest natural elevation in the immediate vicinity of the town of Gushan, at 32.064°N, 120.3031°W, registers at a mere 25 m. in Google Earth, not the 55.6 m. this tourist site claims. 3) If more sources, and coordinates, can verify the existence of this hill, then demonstrably we have what is the highest point in Jiangsu west of Nantong, north of the Yangtze, and south of Lianyungang, which is rather notable.

 * Keep The guideline leans toward inclusion with "...presumed, but not guaranteed, to be notable..." so now that it has references, kindly provided by Vmenkov, makes a claim for notability by its nature, and is a notable site in the culture, I !vote keep on this one.

 * Keep: While not as tall and famous as Denmark's lofty Himmelbjerget, Gushan (a.k.a. Lonely Hill) is apparently the only natural "prominence" on the otherwise very flat Yangtze Delta alluvial plain for something like 100 km in every direction. With a bit of forest and a temple on top, officially designated a "scenic Area" (孤山风景区), it apparently is one of the few natural [such as it goes, anyway] attractions that Jingjiang can boast of. (Pretty much everything else around it are fields or residential/commercial, as Google Maps satellite view, and probably Google Earth too, show). There are photos of it at the city government site ( http://www.jingjiang.gov.cn/jingjiangweb/detail.aspx?categoryid=7b66e7e9-bec4-472e-a252-aab01d016ca6&infoguid=18a279f0-6d85-4b17-9763-bf394484da98&parentcategoryid=7b66e7e9-bec4-472e-a252-aab01d016ca ), and it certainly mentioned often enough on Chinese web sites dealing with the area's tourist attractions: https://www.google.com/search?q=靖江孤山风景区 . At the same time, the article can benefit from a fair amount of copy-editing. -- Vmenkov (talk) 05:03, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
