Penn Vista Lake

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Since we cannot even find secondary sources to establish whether it is a private or public lake, I think it is just difficult to maintain an article where we cannot verify information about it. CorporateM (Talk) 19:43, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - Geographic features are deemed to be inherently notable, but the information must meet verifiability. I can find no sources to verify that the lake exists.  I searched for the name at the Geographic Names Information System and turned up nothing.  I generated a list of all lakes and reservoirs in Pike County PA to review manually, and found no lake with a name that was even similar to Penn Vista Lake.  Perhaps it is know by some other name.  I'll happily change my mind if we can get  one reliable source to verify it's existence. -- Whpq (talk) 17:12, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. It's not named on the USGS topo map, but it is named on Google Maps at 41.2625°N, -75.2793°W. Looks rather like an overgrown farm pond to me. Deor (talk) 19:16, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It appears to be about 200 metres in diameter. I wouldn't call that a major geographic feature and its lake lack of an entry in the GNIS would make this for me, and unremarkable bit of water. -- Whpq (talk) 19:42, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
