This is/was a small private artificial lake or pond. There is insufficient coverage to meet GNG. All sources are just maps or databases. The article was not deleted in the prior AFD due to confusion with Bass Lake (Watauga County, North Carolina), also known as Cone Lake, which had not been written at the time. Since then, the other article was developed, partially with sources identified during the first AFD of this article. After sorting out which sources were about which lake, there is not enough left to show this one is notable. MB 22:00, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Geography and North Carolina. MB 22:00, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I disagree with your categorization of Cone lake being attributed to Bass Lake instead of this lake. The publications that are cited in the article have no indication that they are discussing Bass Lake instead of Cones Lake, and if we were to make assumptions, it seems more likely that Cones lake was also referred to as Cone lake. Also, the lake is on land owned by a land trust, and was once open to the public. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia and although this lake is no longer owned publicly does not mean it should not have its own page. KyleGorczynski (talk) 22:13, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand what you are saying. The sources in this article are about Cones Lakes. There are three maps and a database. We only have articles on topics that have in-depth coverage and this is not in-depth coverage. The other sources I mentioned are not used in this article, but they were mistakenly used in the prior AFD. MB 22:42, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete due to lack of significant coverage. The sources at Bass Lake (Watauga County, North Carolina) (which should perhaps be renamed as Cone Lake) refer to the location at the Cone estate in Blowing Rock, which is clearly not where Cones Lake is located. –dlthewave ☎ 05:31, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Originally this was proposed for deletion and sources were thrown together to prove notability. Unfortunately the sources were mixed up and the actual RS was for the notable Cone Lake (later renamed Bass Lake). Sometimes two places have similar or the same name and it is easy to confuse them. I do not blame the editors in the first AfD for getting it wrong. However, the notability of this pond is not there. A similar confusion is happening in another AfD for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Factory Butte (Emery County, Utah). Lightburst (talk) 15:06, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
