List of South African lakes

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This has been around for over a year now. The total list consists of just 4 lakes, none Wiki articles. South Africa must be extremely dry if this is it, though I suspect there are so many thousands and thousands of lakes in the country that this could only be a sample if anyone could be bothered to work on it.

 * Keep So Fix It? Needs to be sorted out, but would form a useful navigational tool when completed. Just because it's barely got any entries is not a reason to bring to AFD. Pedro | Chat  13:50, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep If we were to delete every article which wasn't perfect there wouldn't be many left. Nick mallory 13:55, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and Improve I have just added the tag. Article just needs some improvement. Jackrm 14:47, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * "Some"? Emeraude 15:15, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay - Lots. It's still not a reason to delete it. Pedro | Chat  15:24, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Lots then. Surely there's somebody on wikipedia who knows alot about this. Jackrm 16:48, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong keep, an incomplete list is in need of work and not deletion. Lists of geographic features are certainly valid lists, and assuming the redlinks are for actual lakes it encourages the creation of said articles. ɑʀкʏɑɴ 15:16, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep, A relevant list, just needs improvement. The fact that it's full of red-links just reflects systemic bias. -- Beloved freak  16:09, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and tag it for expert and wikify. Bearian 16:45, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, and I'm adding it to WikiProject South Africa. By advertising the article's existence better, someone with the goods to fix it is more likely to stumble across it. (Say, does it ... snow ... anywhere in South Africa?) --Dhartung | Talk 16:56, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
