Non-notable. Apparently the only published reference to this place is a name on a topographic map. A Google search [1] returns only references to this map and this WP article. This is not a notable place. Pete Tillman (talk) 04:37, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - Geographical features such as deserts are inherently notable. Just a google book search alone brings up in-depth coverage of this desert. [2][3]--Oakshade (talk) 09:41, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Geographical features are certainly not inherently notable. A glance at any topographic map will reveal hundreds of features that lack WP notability. --Pete Tillman (talk) 16:09, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Consensus has generally found that geographical features such as mountains, rivers, lakes, etc. as indicated in WP:GEOG are notable. I've never seen an actual desert (arguably a feature of larger geographical scale than a single mountain or lake) up for AfD so this I suppose is a test of sort.--Oakshade (talk) 17:08, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
