Comment: While named rivers are likely to be notable, proving this requires “information beyond statistics and coordinates” contained in reliable written sources. Hopefully you should be able to find those quickly, and then we can try this again. Good luck 👍 Absurdum4242 (talk) 05:34, 26 August 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: There are still insufficient sources listed that each provide significant coverage of the subject to justify a new Wikipedia article. ie the draft does not currently meet WP:GNG. The current content tells the reader little more than can be seen in a map. More sources are required that each provide significant coverage of the subject.
