This is just a lake. It's not an unincorporated community. No article needed. Paper Luigi ^{T • C} 06:54, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. All lakes are notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 11:00, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Lakes are generally notable, but when it was nominated, the article said that Lake Humphreys was both a community and a lake. I removed the bits about it being a lake, since the lake itself is adequately covered at Lake Humphreys. I cannot verify that it is a community, but this may be because there are so many hits for the lake. GNIS has a listing for the lake but not the community. Comments from editors from Oklahoma would be particularly welcome. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 11:32, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete Place does not exist, no evidence of notability in substantive sources. Google Maps shows the area around the lake is part of incorporated Duncan, Oklahoma. Redirect is fine. Reywas92^Talk 13:07, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. If this is supposed to be a community, why do the coords point to the middle of the lake? SpinningSpark 18:21, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Because those coördinates were added 4 years later by the same person who changed the subject from "community" to "a lake and […] community". Uncle G (talk) 18:35, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Speedy" Delete: (amended up from "delete"). It is not notable because it does not actually exist. The one USGS reference indicates the classification as "lake". I owned a home/camp on the 13,680 acre Lake Limestone and there are publications indicating that residents are considered members of the "Lake Limestone community". This is a broad term usually meaning all residents living around the lake. Some areas around the lake are individually named "sub-divisions" with their own associations and members must be residents of that "community". These are not "unincorporated communities" as recognized by any definition or statues as settlements or historical communities and a lack of any available sources will likely bear this out.
