Valea Vacii River

 * – ( View AfD View log )

One-sentence stub, no reliable sources about 10 pages into Google, seems non-notable. Pilif12p 22:37, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Verified geographic feature, if the book sources are to be taken in good faith. Since Wikipedia functions as a gazetteer, geographic features are considered worthy of inclusion. Google may not be the best way to find sources, since the subject is in a non-English-speaking country. (Searching "Valea Vacii" turns up more results, but since "Valea" is Romanian for "valley", that probably refers to the valley and not the river.)

 * Keep For geographic features, reliable sources are not only articles or books, but mainly maps. The river is represented on all detailed maps of the region. As far as notability is concerned, the Wikipedia rules do not provide any limits for geographic features - if the geographic feature exists it qualifies for an article.

Besides the river is part of the officially codified river network of Romania. The article indicates this official code which is used by authorities to identify the river. This in itself should justify the notability which been assessed by the water authorities of the country. Afil (talk) 05:46, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
