This is just a flat-out mistake in compiling GNIS. The 1972 topo shows this as a very minor named hill, complete with elevation. Aerial photos show nothing to dispute this: there is just nothing at all around except a road which eventually passes the Camels Hump Reservoir a ways to the east. It's baldly obvious that there never was a "populated place" here by any standard; except for the road and the reservoir the area looks utterly undisturbed.

Keep (or possibly merge if there is a suitable target). It might not be a community (which error needs correcting), but it is a named feature that appears in multiple hiking guides. We at least know who named it and when. It is also repeatedly mentioned in The Geomorphology of the Wyoming-Lackawanna Region. SpinningSpark 18:32, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, the "The Geomorphology of the Wyoming-Lackawanna Region" is for Wyoming County, Pennsylvania and Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. Cxbrx (talk) 20:08, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've struck what has turned out to be an ill-considered comment. SpinningSpark 23:16, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Spinningspark: Not to worry. Thanks for taking the time to look for sources. I made a similar mistake recently with Parks Place, Mississippi. Cxbrx (talk) 01:24, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Here's a picture of a Camel Hump at Lizard Head Peak, the one mentioned in Spinningspark's first link, but it's in a different location from the one in the article. The second link is about the Wyoming-Lackawanna Region of Pennsylvania... Reywas92^Talk 20:23, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, do we/should we have an article on the Camel Hump discussed above? Coolabahapple (talk) 23:58, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Clearly not a populated place. The geographic feature has not received sufficient coverage to meet WP:GEOLAND. –dlthewave ☎ 03:49, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete does not meet our requirements for WP:GEOLAND. Lightburst (talk) 15:03, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
