List of ponds in Maine

 * – ( View AfD View log )


 * 1: Most definitely not notable. #2 There is no way you can fill this in. If you somehow manage to include every single pond, once it rains, there will be a edit storm and a epic edit war. WikiCopter 04:46, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Your definition of pond is not the one most people use.  There are lots of ponds that are permanent bodies of water, whether man-made or natural.  They do not get created with rain.  There are issues with this list, but the issues you bring up are non-sequiters and in no way justify deleting it.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:23, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't think that every single pond warrants a mention. Although I disagree with the nom's definition of pond, I doubt we need a listing of every tiny body of water in a state. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:06, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - "Ponds in Maine" is not an encyclopaedic topic (notability issues, pond is a subjective term), and this list has only two entries. --Anthem 09:37, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge with List of lakes in Maine, which already contains many notable ponds. –BMRR (talk) 01:16, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:11, 11 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge with List of lakes in Maine as suggested by Anthem. The terms overlap, but lakes is the more common term.   jsfouche &#9789;&#9790; Talk 01:30, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I think you meant to say "as suggested by BMRR"; Anthem suggested deletion, not a merge. –BMRR (talk) 22:18, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
