Lake El Paso

I don't think that this topic meets Notability (geographic features). For one thing, I can't find any source that discusses a lake with this name - which would be expected given the lofty claims made in the original version of the article. Secondhandly, while some maps show a lake-like structure at these coordinates, they don't name it nor is there any other information. For a while I was thinking it might be a hoax, given that it is the only edit by the creating editor and the lack of sources. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:36, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment Lake El Paso appears to be an alternate name for Shadow Mountain Lake/Mountain Shadow Lake, which verifiably existed. . &minus;&minus;&minus; Cactus Jack 🌵 23:47, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep and possibly rename to Shadow Mountain Lake. Meets GEOLAND. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 22:09, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Hrm. It doesn't seem like anyone calls Shadow Mountain Lake "Lake El Paso" and while some aspects discussed in the LEP article resemble these of SML others don't. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:10, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * This... is a really weird one. There are a lot of hits on Newspapers.com. Lake El Paso is an artificial lake and a company, Lake El Paso Inc., that tried to get people to visit the artificial lake and developers to develop around the artificial lake. The coordinates are five miles too far west. It probably isn't WP:GEOLAND but rather WP:NORG, and as it's unsourced, I'm not sure I support keeping this, however it's a notable failed development if someone wants to put some elbow grease into it. Probably a TNT delete or draftify. SportingFlyer  T · C  05:47, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Relisting comment: This would benefit more from additional dicussion, rather than closing with a no consensus result at this time, in my opinion.
