Total failure of WP:V and has been since creation. I will happily withdraw this nomination if anyone can even provide so much as a scrap of proof that such a mountain exists, but to the greatest extent of my ability to search, I have not been able to do so. GEOnet shows no results for the word "cesius" in Chile, and since "cerro" means mountain, that nets you, oh, 6000+ results, so that doesn't help.

Absolutely zero hits on Google or GBooks. Every hit I found was a false positive - typos, hits on similar words, or instances where a sentence ends with Cerro and the next one starts with Cesius, or vice versa. No article on any other wiki to swipe sources from. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 08:11, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:V, even if it does exist it fails WP:GEOLAND. There are a large number of named and unnamed peaks in the Chilean Andes that would fail WP:GEOLAND where no information beyond statistics and coordinates exist e.g. [1], and here is a list of 40 peaks from 4270 to 4293M elevation, all sourced to maps, only some of which are named, and that's the 49th page of 40 for Chilean mountains.----Pontificalibus 09:56, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per nom. I can't find any evidence that this mountain exists. SailingInABathTub (talk) 12:23, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Although I found this totally legitimate word search for mountains in Chile which includes Cerro Cesius, that's literally the only thing I could find that wasn't ripped off from Wikipedia. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:12, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It exists. I tracked it down on a map. It appears to be a typo that's manifested across Wikipedia languages. There's not much on Cerro Ceusis apart from a mention in a scholarly journal and a listing in a Chilean governmental document. [2] SportingFlyer T·C 00:48, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SportingFlyer, thanks for finding that. I tried to double check to see if there were any further sources that would show the topic meets WP:GEOLAND, but I can't find any, so ultimately I'm still in favor of not having a standalone. But I wouldn't argue with a redirect to maybe List of mountains in the Andes (under the corrected spelling, of course). ♠PMC♠ (talk) 01:32, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think a redirect makes a lot of sense. I know this isn't technically evidence of anything, but the fact this can go unnoticed for so long clearly shows it's not notable. SportingFlyer T·C 10:25, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per above, this is an incorrect name, and the actual mountain probably isn't notable. A redirect from the correct spelling would make sense, but I don't think we should be propagating an error by having this spelling. Hog Farm _Talk 14:42, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agree - should probably have written "a redirect makes a lot of sense, from the correct spelling." SportingFlyer T·C 15:07, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And a redirect from the wrong spelling too, since its propagated around the internet, even to internet word search websites! ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:10, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
