Little George Coc'nuts

I've been looking for almost an hour now and I can't find any reliable, independent, in-depth sources that verify a) that this place exists and b) where the hell it actually is. It doesn't come up on a search of the NGA GEOnet server, which is usually quite complete. There's no official gazetteer for the Pitcairns that I can see, but it isn't mentioned as a place of interest on the official Pitcairns website. It doesn't appear on any official maps that I can find.

It gets name-dropped in this research paper, these two personal sites, and this Telegraph article, so it probably is an actual local name for something on the island (although that Telegraph article looks ripped-from-Wikipedia and should be treated with caution), but in the absence of anything in-depth, we have no idea where it is or what if any official name it has, so there's not even a suitable merge or redirect target. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 00:07, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. No sources have been provided. I don't know if the Telegraph article cited above was actually ripped from Wikipedia, but it was written several years after the content of this article (and basically duplicates it). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:15, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Existence of a place is not automatic notability, no substantive sources shown. Reywas92Talk 07:09, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep per WP:GEOFEAT - does get mentioned and while  isn't a reliable source, that definitely looks like a Lonely Planet map (and it's mentioned in an Italian  Lonely Planet.) Sourceable. SportingFlyer  T · C  13:05, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - I concur with Reywas92 - even if there are a few mentions that show this valley exists, proving it exists does not necessarily establish any sort of notability. And the sources that have been discovered so far have been either very brief, from unreliable sources, or a combination of both.  Perhaps a Redirect to Pitcairn Islands could work, but I honestly don't see this as a feasible search term due to its obscurity.  Rorshacma (talk) 22:04, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Except Wikipedia functions as a gazetteer as well as an encyclopedia, so features don't have to be "notable" in the traditional sense, and I think it's clearly verifiable. SportingFlyer  T · C  03:05, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
