Over water

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Stub-article about a lake in England that does not stress the notability of its subject, and the article acknowledges that the lake in question is rarely visited. Article has received no edits since its creation nearly 5 months ago, and so prospects for improvement are slim Thethinredline 15:55, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Well, I just improved it, noting the old norse derivation of its name, a popular walking route around it and the fact that it's a feeding area for the (very rare in the Lake District) Ospreys which nest nearby. All in the time it takes to post a perfectly legitimate article for AfD as well. It should be noted that 'rarely visited' in Lake District terms means that only hundreds of people walk around it every day, rather than the tens of thousands who might be on Windermere.  It's not in Siberia, it's a lake in the Lake District, one of the most famous and commonly visited national parks in England.  This may not be notable to the nominator, but I think it's notable under wikipedia policy regarding geographical landmarks.  Nick mallory 16:43, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable by being a Lake District lake. See List of lakes in the Lake District for an idea of the work in progress. Bobble Hat 07:42, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
