This article's subject is an insignificant pond-not nearly as significant to pass WP:GEOLAND.

- Keep did you not look at the citations? It is clearly a significant. -- M V D H P ( talk) 19:51, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
- @ M V D H P: I have looked at the citations, however there is not enough content to prove that the article is significant. This might be a case of WP:TOOSHORT. JTZegers ( talk) 22:46, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
- Keep: JTZegers, you misunderstood WP:TOOSHORT; that guideline says that the length of the article is not a reason to delete a page. What matters is the quality of the sources, and the Vineyard Gazette coverage establishes notability. For example, this article goes into some detail on the chemical makeup of the pond. — Toughpigs ( talk) 23:05, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. Citations provided plus others available in news and book sources satisfy the WP:notability requires verifiable evidence test. Also WP:TOOSHORT is a section from the larger WP:overzealous deletion essay. Significance is proven by availability of reliable sources, not by content incorporated into the article. That said, the stub can use a greater diversity of sources, but that appears to be a surmountable problem. • Gene93k ( talk) 19:51, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Clearly supported by the content of the cited articles and helps satisfy the Gazetteer function of Wikipedia and the points others have made above. Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? ( talk) 08:58, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
- Keep "Nailed it now", my aunt Mathilda. That amount of suitable refs is easily enough for an article, let alone a stub. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 21:50, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
