AfDs for this article:
[Hide this box] New to Articles for deletion (AfD)? Read these primers!
This was nominated and "semi-procedurally" kept in 2022 based on the outcome of similar AfDs at the time as well as several "Keep" !votes based on
WP:NEXIST. The article meets neither of these guidelines as NEXIST requires sources that, well, exist and GEOLAND requires sources with "verifiable information beyond simple statistics". The only non-map/database source is a climber's guide which mentions the lake in passing as a landmark on the way to a destination. This isn't SIGCOV and it tells us nothing about the lake itself aside from its relative location. Given the lack of additional coverage, deletion is appropriate in this case. –dlthewave ☎ 16:02, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

- Redirect to Lakes of Grand Teton National Park, not notable enough for a separate article. Reywas92Talk 19:08, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Google Earth view. Just 25 hectares. Image search turns up free government images of possible future use. "Cirque lake" also refers to a type of lake (a lake in a cirque), so a Google Search turns up many false hits - links to other lakes in cirques.

- Redirect to Lakes of Grand Teton National Park. There is simply not enough information to make an encyclopaedic article about this lake. The nom.'s case is correct, and GEOLAND says
The number of known sources should be considered to ensure there is enough verifiable content for an encyclopedic article. If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the feature can instead be included in a more general article on local geography.
The more general article exists and the lake is included in the redirect target. Per Reywas92, this is not notable for a seperate article. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:15, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
