Generic cave mass-produced from labels on a map with no explanation of notability, fails WP:GEOLAND. Prod removed without explanation as usual. Reywas92^Talk 19:28, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The first source is an apparently unpublished, unattributed hand-drawn diagram. The second source doesn't mention the cave, simply referring to "a cave" near Willis' Battery. This fails WP:V so a redirect is not appropriate.----Pontificalibus 11:26, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GEOLAND. Searched for "Willis' Cave", Gibraltar in Google Scholar and Google Books and found nothing for it. Both JSTOR and GEOREF also yielded nothing. Found nothing for Willis' Cave while looking through pertinent chapters in Rose, E.P. and Rosenbaum, M.S., 1991. A field guide to the geology of Gibraltar. Gibraltar Museum under the auspices of the Gibraltar Heritage Trust. Finally, according to 2019 - The 200 Caves of Gibraltar - Part 13, which itself is a self-published blog, the map (first source) used in the article for the cave's name and location is undated and unattributed and cannot be considered a reliable source as previously noted.

Delete: A journal search turned up nothing. I checked some of the other cave sites to see if they had RS which might have information on this location, but they are all pretty badly sourced as well. I'm assuming if something was easily found in Google it would already have been mentioned. I don't see anything in the article itself that would lead anyone to believe this is notable, the description isn't a description but rather info on its namesake. I searched for the other cave at AfD, Crystal Cave (Gibraltar) at the same time and didn't find anything for that either. Fails GNG and GEOLAND. // Timothy :: talk 08:04, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
