Narrative:
The commercial chart page for cle does not show taxiway papa but the ATIS and controllers use the taxiway in clearances. This taxiway appears to be decommissioned. We were given a clearance to hold short of papa for an opposite direction aircraft and did so, however the taxiway is actually lima two, not papa. No conflict occurred but it would be nice if we all had the same information.
