 * Delete It has had a maintenance tag for 12 months without improvement. Original research. The criteria for inclusion are so loose as to be laughable, such as "Elko"being an animal, when Elko, Nevada says it is an Indian word for "a pile of rocks." Others are named after a rock that someone thought looked like a beaver, or after an island that someone thought was shaped like a bird, or after some city that was named after an animal.

 * Delete per WP:NOTDIRECTORY #1 and WP:OR. The criterion is trivial, just like List of U.S. counties named after plants (which I think should be added to this Afd). Clarityfiend (talk) 02:41, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
