Tommeliten Rock

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An article about a rock in Antarctica... is no way notable and does not meet WP:GNG. Sources do not turn up anything notable. Will211 (talk) 06:01, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment/question: It's a GNIS location.  When are GNIS locations notable, and when not?  What about wp:GEOLAND.  I wonder if it is a climbing target.  Also because "Tom Thumb" is good name for a rock that looks like a thumb, there will be other locations of this name, so the page could be converted to a disambiguation page.
 * Or this Tommeliten Rock and others could be mentioned at a Tommeliten disambiguation page. This page suggests there could be a "Tommeliten Rock" in Svalbard or nearby, towards the other polar extreme.  Also on the Sognalsfjorden extension of the Sognefjord in Norway, there is a Tommeliten which may be a "crag", i.e. pretty much would be a rock or a peak.  Here is a pic of rock-climbing on Tommeliten.


 * Hmm, here is page indicating that Antarctica's Tommeliten Rock is also known as Tommeliten and is a 993 meter hill (or peak?). That is high, in Antarctica, I think.  It seems to be a significant geographical feature.  Also it seems to be the location of a "seep ecosystem" or a "methane seep", so some sources that at first look like they could be about the North Sea oil field may be about the Antarctic location.


 * There's an important Tommeliten oil field in the North Sea where for example Conoco was prepared to invest $2.24 billion. -- do ncr  am  02:15, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment Just a note for the height, List of mountains of East Antarctica lists the tallest peaks in East Antarctica, where the rock is located. The peaks listed are 2,000+ meters, so 993 meters probably is not considered "tall" for Antarctica. Will211 (talk) 03:05, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. It's a nunatak, now included in the list of them, and this seems to be a striking geographic feature.  Google satellite view on the coords I added into a reference in the article shows it. -- do  ncr  am  02:45, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Found and added Category:Nunataks of Queen Maud Land. It is one of 87 nunataks each having a short article.  All 87 of these, plus others in other sections of Antarctica, could possibly be merged into a list-article of them.  And each topic could be changed to be a redirect to the corresponding list-item.  However keeping all as separate articles is also okay, and easier. -- do  ncr  am  02:51, 2 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep, but.... On the face of it, there's nothing really notable here.  I took a look at a random sampling of articles from Category:Nunataks of Queen Maud Land.  My overall impression is that combining them all into a single article or list would be the right thing to do.  It's worth discussing (I'm not sure what the right forum would be) the idea of a big merge.  But, until we decide to do that, picking one arbitrary one to nuke just seems silly.  -- RoySmith (talk) 01:47, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Nunataks. Not enough notability for a standalone article. Will incorporate all these stubs into the list article, which as and  point out, would make a nice substantial list article.  Onel 5969  TT me 14:29, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
