The article Atlantic-North Sea Continental Divide has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Lacks reliable sources about the actual subject, and I couldn't easily find others[1][2]. Is this usually known under another name, or is this some piece of WP:OR supported by one unreliable website?
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

- I would not agree with the request to delete. The source of the data for this article is provided by three governmental agencies responsible for cartography of river drainage basins. This is the SEPA in Scotland, the UK data and the SANDRE water project in France as I have cited in the article. The maps for each drainage basin is also listed in the reference section. As the source data is freely available from these agencies, any individual can download the source and verify the statements of the article. The continental divide between each drainage basin forms the edge of the divide.Sledbird (talk) 17:46, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
