Bayou Gulch

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

This is a short, stubby article about a non-notable area. It fails WP:V (as there are few sources) and WP:N because it is an insignificant geographical feature. United States Man (talk) 01:20, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because of the reasons stated above:

Comment: I suggest giving the creator a few days to improve it. The formatting (and part of the text) is borrowed from from South Platte River, and the creator has not yet filled in the details for the above mentioned gulches. The creator also seems not to be familiar with Wiki-markup yet. הסרפד (call me “Hasirpad”) (formerly R——bo) 01:49, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. This is puzzling. There does appear to be a Bayou Gulch,[1] but it's (duuh) a gulch, not a river. None of the external links or the first reference even mention Bayou Gulch, nor is it shown on the infobox map. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:29, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Look at South Platte River; the creator borrowed the infobox and has not yet filled in the correct information. הסרפד (call me “Hasirpad”) (formerly R——bo) 03:33, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - What am I supposed to see at South Platte River? There's nary a mention of Bayou Gulch anywhere. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:48, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Because the infobox has been copy-pasted from there. הסרפד (call me “Hasirpad”) (formerly R——bo) 13:20, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the road If we were to give the original editor time to fix the road article, I don't think it would be very long or in depth. Some roads you can say a lot about, others not so much. This appears to be in the second category. Neutral on the gulches. –Fredddie™ 06:50, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Selective delete (the road): I had not noticed that the third article was about a road. This seems inherently non-notable. הסרפד (call me “Hasirpad”) (formerly R——bo) 19:31, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral (for the gulches, so far): I'm not really sure how to search or determine notability for gulches (or rivers, for that matter). הסרפד (call me “Hasirpad”) (formerly R——bo) 19:31, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the road article, Neutral on the others. Imzadi 1979 → 03:11, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete road article - county roads are generally not notable per WP:USRD/NT, and fails GNG. --Rs chen 7754 06:49, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the road as failing notability. Keep the gulches as distinct geographical features; they meet the five pillars definition of Wikipedia as a gazzeteer, therefore they are notable, and "few sources" does not mean a failure of WP:V; if there are any sources V is met. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:09, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the road - Not notable. Dough 48 72 00:53, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
