Should be merged with the Bach Ice Shelf article J^♯m (talk | contribs) 19:23, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating

All of the above articles fail WP:GEOLAND and are of the same basic character: basic information from the USGS, including lat/long coordinates, and the occasional reference to who it was named for / who discovered it.

Rather than having a multiplicity of articles whose notability is questionable at best, I believe it would be better to include information on these features on the articles for the regions they inhabit, and thereby improve the quality of each article. Note also that most of the regional articles are themselves stubs and severely lacking in substantive information; by themselves, they might also fail WP:GEOLAND, but with the added information from these stubs, some of them might become quite good articles, even achieving Good or Featured status. As these stubs currently stand, there is almost no chance that any of them will ever become good articles. J^♯m (talk | contribs) 20:52, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
