Searchlight Triple Divide Point[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Not notable. This is a single point on the earth where three different water sheds meet. The only links for Searchlight Triple Divide Point are on Wikipedia or a shadow. While this may well be defined by the USGS, there are about 3,000 features there. I'll contend that on this Wiki, not every peak and wash and point where three watersheds meet is notable. If someone thinks that we need to keep this information, I would not object to the creation of a list article about these. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:51, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No evidence is provided to indicate that this is a notable location. Unlike, say, Triple Divide Peak (Montana), it sounds like the watersheds that meet at this point are relatively small, and there may be hundreds of non-notable locations like the Searchlight one. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:59, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note—First, Article has been RETURNED to an original form (WHETHER VEGASWIKIAN, cares is improbable-HE NOMINATED A MUSH ARTICLE-(vandalized))..the technique of the VANDALIZER, User:Hike796, first make article into a "mush" of a NON-article, reduced to sentences, and tagged everywhere..(with citations).. then get an ALTER-ego (Vegaswikian) to NOMINATE.. see the example of User:Hike796 on my recent article (NOW RETURNED to its ~ approximate original form).. his "imitation 4-Hatnote Disambiguation article" was here:-(Indian Springs) [1] ; (a 4 article search did not find use of "indian" or "springs")---The present article, and leaving his latest tag (ONLY) is here: (Article).
And note: if Hike796 returns Searchlight, or Indian, or wherever, (Searchlight article now slighty modified/corrected)..I have saved 2nd versions to easily Re-Make the original article before his VANDALIZATION.----
Plus..User:Hike796 just modified his Category:Ivanpah-Pahrump Watershed to modify this region.. the TRIPLE DIVIDE POINT is in the SE...(and there is one in NE, as article shows). and is in category of Ivanpah-Pahrump-Wat.----(a category User:Hike796 created)...
ALSO to be preciese a Redirect Article Page should be made: Category:Ivanpah-Pahrump-Eldorado Watershed... (there are 3-valleys involved)... --(from Author-of-article-Searchlight Triple Divide Point)--.. --Mmcannis (talk) 17:41, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

P.S.---For the Central Nevada Desert Basins-(Author Hike796)... the basins will have Triple Points at various corners, depending on length, direction, or Basins.. the Ivanpah-Pahrump Watershed (with Eldorado Valley) has 6- Triple Points, (at least), Mojave National Preserve region southwest.
And...... the Fact of the Searchlight Triple Divide or IMORTANCE, is that it is the Great Basin Divide border sitting on the Colorado RiverMmcannis (talk) 17:54, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article has again been returned to a VANDALIZED form. The article is located here-[2].. (from history of page)Mmcannis (talk) 18:02, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is it LEGAL to alter an article like that to get it DELETED?Mmcannis (talk) 18:05, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kindly learn about WP:AGF. I resent your false charge that I'm someone's alter ego and clearly I do care about the quality of the content here. But this is not the place to air those issues. This discussion is solely about a decision on the fate of this particular article. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:27, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sooo.... Your answer is OBVIOUS, if you can get away with it,,, GO FOR IT...(Thanks for the update)Mmcannis (talk) 19:38, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No indication of notability. Kmusser (talk) 19:55, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete.-(Changing a "No Voting status")-(I want to join the cabal). Even though the previous Page has a referenced Peak, describing two dry washes northwest into the watershed, and..a SE, and NE Triple Divide-( 2 Triple Divides) in a valley in the Great Basin, bordering the Colorado River, we should hide these facts.Mmcannis (talk) 23:05, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The referenced peak doesn't even have a name, how is it notable? Not every random point on a map deserves an article and there's nothing special about triple divides, they're all over the place.Kmusser (talk) 00:30, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Lack of notability. I can see in the page's history see Hike796 turned it into "mush", but even the unmushed versions don't seem to show why this triple divide is notable. Just being a triple divide along the Colorado—Great Basin divide doesn't seem notable to me, at least not for those facts alone. If there were reliable sources describing it as important somehow, then sure. I can't quite recall, but I think there may be some (slightly) notable triple divides between the Colorado, Great Basin, and Columbia/Snake watersheds. Sorry Mmcannis, I do sympathize with your frustration about the vandalism. (and by the way, to editors having trouble with Hike796, note nearly all his/her edits are marked "minor", which can be easy to overlook or not see on watchlists, etc. I know this is off-topic for this AfD, my apologies) Pfly (talk) 02:48, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
