Kamenka River (Kama basin)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

The river is missing. The river was not found on the most accurate maps of 1:25,000. See also Talk:Kamenka River (Kama basin) and discussion in the Russian Wikipedia Insider (talk) 06:07, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I am a Russian speaker (as well as he is), and the arguments are compelling. Kamenka is a pretty common name for a river in Russia, and this one is not on the maps and not in the State Register.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:17, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Wikipedia's geography notability guideline states the following: "Named geographic features are usually considered notable. This includes mountains, lakes, streams, islands etc. The amount of sources and notability of the place are still important, however." However, despite extensive searching, I cannot find this river on Google Maps, and thus this appears not to be a named feature. I taking a guess that Kamenka River is a local nickname for this very small (0.9 km) river.  If anyone can locate this river on any map, I am willing to change my vote.

 * Delete. "Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence", but when official maps (I'm guessing these are topographic maps that use a scale of 1 metre for every 25 kilometres) in the area of the alleged river show no sign of its existence, that's overwhelmingly strong evidence of absence.
