This nameless body of water is in Lake Park in the new Inglewood, California neighborhood of SoFi Stadium#Hollywood Park adjacent to SoFi Stadium. The only source for Rivers Lake is the reddit thread. Clicking on the Google citation now results in Hollywood Park Lake despite the claim in the article. That seems like a good title for the article but can be confused with Lake Hollywood Park which is the common name for the land surrounding Hollywood Reservoir. Another thought is to delete the article. The article could also be converted to being about Lake Park which includes content on the reclaimed and stormwater function of the lake. It is urgent to deal with the inaccurate title of the article as it reflects on the reliability of Wikipedia. Fettlemap (talk) 12:51, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

A lot of your claims appear to be WP:OR. The Google maps citation links to Rivers Lake which lists the body of water as a landmark under that name. Secondly, a simple Google search for Rivers Lake Inglewood also shows sufficient results relevant to this specific body of water. I'm a little confused as to why you linked to a disambiguation page for Lake Park or two non-existent articles. In any case, per WP:COMMONNAME and based on search results it appears the name of this article should remain as such. --UnquestionableTruth-- 01:27, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
There's little doubt the name Rivers Lake is used specifically to refer to this landmark. There have already been numerous instances in which the name has been used with news affiliates and reporters like Arash Markazi [1] using the name. Most notably, an article by The Architect's Newspaper specifically declares that the informal name of this landmark is Rivers Lake [2]. This can and has been cited within both SoFi Stadium and this article. If the argument Fettlemap wishes to push is about Verifiability, then the citations presented make their argument invalid. If the user wishes argue the naming as trivial, then that could also be handled through mediation as I am beginning to suspect a bias or conflict of interest based on recent reversions [3] [4]. 2600:1012:B129:CC5C:F9F9:8C74:8EDE:3377 (talk) 21:55, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
