Fails WP:GNG and WP:GEONATURAL; all we know about the location is its name and coordinates - to the extent that a search on google scholar for the location provides no results.

The article also includes a brief biography of the person the ridge is named after, but as that isn't directly related to the ridge I don't believe it justifies an article on the ridge. BilledMammal (talk) 04:06, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: GNIS mentions that it is "A linear volcanic outcrop, 2.2 miles long, between Savage Ridge and Testa Ridge on the north slope of Mount Morning, Victoria Land", which is a little better than just "name and coordinates", but could still fall short of GEONATURAL. It appears we actually have lots of articles created in a similar manner (questionably notable Antarctic features named after UW-Madison Professors; see Mount Bockheim, Mount Stearns, and Blankenship Glacier for example).

Keep - I recall reading this article when I was heavy into Antarctica WikiProject. While there are many (hundreds) of these short articles, they mostly need a bit of information about, surrounding features, altitude, regional orientation, etc. to keep a Stub status. Lacking any on-ground field exploration, maybe any satellite images may help. Regards, JoeNMLC (talk) 21:03, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: At WP Antarctica, I posted a notice here about possibly creating a List of Antarcitica locations article wikitable to contain these short articles being considered for deletion. JoeNMLC (talk) 23:16, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Scott Coast, expanding the existing list item there. I would note that this does strictly meet GEONATURAL, since the article as it stands already provides information beyond statistics and coordinates (namely the name origin) and as noted above could be expanded with another sentence or so. But I don't think that really makes sense as a way to organize our coverage in this case. -- Visviva (talk) 02:20, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Scott Coast. Or redirect, there's precious little here. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:27, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:GEONATURAL. In addition, I looked up "Weidner Ridge" in "Antarctica : an encyclopedia," vols. 1 and 2, 2nd ed. by John Stewart and found nothimg more than what is written in its Wikipedia article. Found a alck of additional information in other sources. Paul H. (talk) 01:32, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
