The result was Keep-- geographical features are notable, and sources exist. "never heard of it" is not a good deletion argument. Verfiable sources appear adequate. Dlohcierekim 10:29, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Subject is not notable. Hirolovesswords (talk) 17:31, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete: Definitely not notable. I live a few miles away, and I've never heard of it. Only a handful of ghits, and almost all of them are about parties at Prankers Pond, not the Pond itself (e.g. size, location, history). Calor (talk) 18:07, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep as a notable geographical feature: see the various sources I've added. Nyttend (talk) 04:24, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Massachusetts-related deletion discussions. -- the wub "?!" 09:05, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep here are another couple sources, apparently there was a dam rupture at the pond in 1957 that caused some significant issues.
