What is the significance of this knoll? Does it really deserve its own article? Rory096 03:42, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An Antarctic geographical feature that has an official name could be regarded as significant enough to deserve its own article (if available). Place naming policies for Antarctica are fairly conservative, names are given to features ranked as if "of national significance" and correspondingly formally approved by ministers of inferior, inter-ministerial bodies, presidents or other high level authorities. Geographical features in Antarctica would have a relatively greater significance than comparable features elsewhere because they account for nearly 100 per cent of all notable features on a given territory there. (As you can imagine this percentage would be pretty low e.g. in a city or a densely populated area where the man-made features dominate both in quantity and significance.) The significance of an Antarctic geographical feature may be further enhanced by its relevance as a landmark in the course of field work or navigation, or if ice free. All this is taken into account when the place-naming authorities decide whether some feature merits a name or not. In the particular case of Kuzman Knoll this additional importance due to the feature’s central location at the crossroad of several overland routes is explicitly noted in the article; it could also be seen from the linked reference map where Kuzman Knoll is shown, as well as from the illustration that I have now posted. (It takes some time to upload the illustrations to my series of Antarctic articles, so I jumped to this one as I noticed your query.) Apcbg 09:27, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
