Lake Creasy and Pasquotank Lake

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Appears to be made up—article has no references, and I was not able to find any. Given that article seems to mostly be based around mentions of "Daniel Creasy and his family" and that the sole editor is User:Daniel Creasy, I think it's deletable.

 * Delete Judging from what the article says, these are local names for waterfilled gravel pits; there are no sources for this, so it could very well be made-up, and even if it's correct, it isn't encyclopedic information. --bonadea contributions talk 09:19, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as failing verifiability and notability. Edison (talk) 18:55, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete consists entirely of original research in addition to the reasons given above. Drawn Some (talk) 01:17, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete failing WP:V and WP:N. As well, I'm not really sure how you can find a brand new lake in the '50s by "the kids that chill at the lake". Renaissancee (talk) 00:00, 29 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep it! I can assure you that these lakes do exsist and alot of people in the area use them for different things such as swimming, fishing, and just hanging out. I'm trying to find a picture or something I could put as a reference but its not working out since to my knowledge they have no name except the one me and about 15 other people call them. If you don't believe they exsist you can see them yourself. Go to google maps type in Ulster Drive Elizabeth City and go to the very back of the street towards the field then go all the way to the back of the field and you will see two lakes. Oh and my dad did'nt "find a lake in the 50's" He was a kid back then and they were building Sand Pits when he was REALLY young near the swamps by his house and after a few years the big sand pits turned to rainwater and swamp water lakes. When he got about 10 or 11 him and his friends went to the sand pits that were popular back then and there were lakes, sands pits, swamps. Everything a kid with no video games or anything to do would want back then. Also just because these lakes are'nt important to you they mean something to some people. Did'nt you people ever have a childhood hangout that meant alot to you? Also to the guy who called them water filled gravel pits actually the bottom is basically mud and the shallow ends and even quick sand in the deep ends.-Daniel Creasy —Preceding undated comment added 17:18, 29 April 2009 (UTC).  — Note to closing admin: Daniel Creasy (talk • contribs)  is the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD.

 * I like it isn't a solid argument, and a topic's importance to you isn't sufficient to make it notable. If you can find verifiable reliable sources that mention the lakes by name, that would be another thing altogether. Dori ❦ (Talk ❖ Contribs ❖ Review) ❦ 23:10, 29 April 2009 (UTC)


 * KEEP IT

Well I know at some point they must have had names but now they are only used by a few people to fish and swim at. I'll try to find something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniel Creasy (talk • contribs) 17:14, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
