The Knob (New York)

Doesn't seem like there is anything to say about this place. A search turned up quite literally nothing. Eddie891 Talk Work 21:14, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete: Hard to find information given the name, but GNIS does not establish notability, and if nobody thought to come up with a more distinctive name for this site, I would say that's solid evidence of non-notability. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 23:43, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It's called Knob because that's another name for a kame. Uncle G (talk) 12:46, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Interestingly, there's about a sentence to say, at least, from . Of course, that's an old history book.  I'll see whether there any newer ones for Kirkland or perhaps Oneida.  One can see how rubbish GNIS import is, given that apparently Kirkland is in the village of Clinton.  Or so Wikipedia has told the world for 6 years. Uncle G (talk) 12:10, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It's not in the Arcadia Early Kirkland book. Not a good sign.  The Arcadia books are fairly good pointers on this stuff. Uncle G (talk) 12:22, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Nothing in the geologies or geographies, either, although (as can be seen) I found general mention of there being kames along the Oriskany Creek. Uncle G (talk) 12:54, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect and selectively merge to Clinton, Oneida County, New York. WP:GEONATURAL indicates that If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the feature can instead be included in a more general article on local geography. The 1800s-era source is enough to maybe warrant a small mention in the article on the village (which is a part of the Town; New York has these sorts of weird multi-level municipal governments). And a sentence noting the peak's existence/brief history seems apt there. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 21:36, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I think that makes sense. Eddie891 Talk Work 21:52, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'm not seeing enough significant coverage to include as a standalone or in another article. The bit about the observatory, which was never built, just doesn't seem important enough to mention. –dlthewave ☎ 18:17, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
