Per this. Hike796 (a supposedly banned user who hasn’t been unblocked, see the recent WP:SOCK entry for US40AL-01) recreated the deleted category in article space. Shannon ^talk _contribs 21:45, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and comment. There are nearly 200,000 USGS hydrologic units. Do we need pages for every one? Argument against similar to argument against having pages on individual ZIP codes, unless they are particularly notable. Also, if pages like this are kept, shouldn't they be renamed to following the USGS hydrologic unit system, which involves strict and exact usages of terms like "watershed", "basin", etc. This page says it is about USGS HUC 16060009, which in the system is a "subbasin" not a "watershed". The term "watershed" is reserved for the next level down in the hierarchy, with 10-digit HUCs. See Hydrological code#United States. Pfly (talk) 02:49, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:43, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Pfly. Clearly this lacks notability as would be expected when you try and create articles for over 200,000 items listed in a database. Vegaswikian (talk) 07:46, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
