on the relevant guideline,  "Named natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist". Some participants e.g. Aymatth2 contend that this means a feature is notable if we have any information about its surroundings. This would mean that every such feature is notable, because we always know what continent that mountain is on, what the average temperature of that lake is measured by satellite etc.. However the purpose of this guideline was clearly not to make every feature notable, otherwise it would simply state that.  The guideline gives an example of a river island with no information available except name and location and states that it should probably be described in an article on the river. Of course in such a case we may know lots about the river, but that doesn’t mean we should use that information to try and justify a separate article about the island, because again, that would mean every such feature would have a separate article and that’s not what the guideline intends
— NONE, NONE
