Going back through the topos shows that this was a railroad station/post office and not a settlement. It's telling that the Arcadia book on the region has nothing more to show for the name than a couple of fellows from the area. Mangoe (talk) 23:11, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - If this was indeed a community, it was neither legally recognized nor significantly covered. –dlthewave ☎ 05:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment How would one to about checking if a historic community was ever legally recognized? By this rational here if a google search doesn't produce results then its not a town. I'm not saying thats exactly whats the case here but it seems dozens of articles are being purged with very little effort going into improvements into the articles. Why not tag them.for improvements and allow the community to attempt to make it better rather than just nominate article after article? There are sources out there that show it had a school and is important enough an historical society meet there at the school.[1]. So now we know it had a school as well. I just submitted a request to the society I linked to for more information as well. So, as all of these article get purged for not being incorporated currently and not having sources you can google in two seconds remember there was no internet on most of America just 20 years ago.
