Lassen Creek

There is no record of this feature in any offical Antarctic names gazetteer Polargeo (talk) 09:35, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

This stream is not listed by the USGS GNIS antarctic names gazeteer. It is not listed by the more extensive SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica. On googling the only non-wikipedia originating reference to this feature that I can find is the external link given on the article page itself Research on Streams and Lakes in East Antarctica. This external page gives a picture of the feature which has also been added to the article. I suspect that the feature has been confused with Lawson Creek. The list of steams flowing into Lake Bonney does not include this stream but does include Lawson Creek. Polargeo (talk) 09:47, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Just double checked the article which the info on this stream comes from. It is a blog (okay granted a USGS blog). In the blog they also wrongly name Santa Fe Stream 'Santa Fe Creek'. So I think it unreliable to base the existance of this feature on it. Polargeo (talk) 11:24, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, if this were a reliable source, surely they'd put it into the USGS database. With more sources, we could have this article, but keeping solely for that reason would be crystalballery.  Nyttend (talk) 13:42, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete due to a lack of reliable sources indicating that this place exists, since the only reference to this creek appears to be a mistaken reference to Lawson Creek. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 20:52, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
