Possibly non-notable. A quick google search and most of the sources i Saw were for banks within the town or for completely unrelated places. Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Wikipedia Editor (talk) 19:13, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Sourced, valid stub about a natural feature, which contains more information than merely its name and location. It's not surprising that more research than 'quick google search' would be required to learn about a rural stream.-2603:6011:1301:B1B8:6970:D914:4CB2:7E91 (talk) 19:25, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well if the first couple sources I see are for things completely unrelated, that makes me think it's non-notable. Care to provide sources related to it? Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Wikipedia Editor (talk) 19:34, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • You haven't done that more research, though. It's sourced to the dodgy GNIS and to the infamous Ramsay Place-Name Card Collection. The GNIS entry is itself also sourced to the Ramsay Place-Name Card Collection, so there's only one actual source cited, really. Ramsay is sourced in its turn tohdl:10355/82381, a 1938 M.A. thesis. And that comes from an 1897 map and the oral history of "Mrs Mary E. Vaughn, a lady who has engaged in collecting material relating to county history". Total informational content in the source: 2 sentences. Uncle G (talk) 02:13, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I see no content beyond the steam's name and location. Mass-produced without significant coverage. The GNIS's coordinates for the mouth and source are just 1.6 miles apart near the Wyaconda River and I am unable to see any evidence of a stream between them on Google Maps so I don't know what would make this notable.

• delete The topos show this as a short trace of an intermittent stream which from what I can see on those maps is simply a small network of washes which collect water when it rains hard enough, and they do not name it. I'm not convinced it actually has an name that has or had any widespread usage even in the area. Mangoe (talk) 03:18, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
