No evidence of a community at this location. Maps show a railroad siding with no connection to nearby roads. –dlthewave ☎ 17:30, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Nothing found. Looks like another low-effort "article" based on an entry in GNIS, which does not establish notability. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 22:32, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Various books on railways confirm that it is indeed a station on the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad the next station along from Buena Vista, and is not a community, incorporated or otherwise. All of the categories and half of the (two) sentences in this article are falsehoods. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 00:19, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete based on cursory search of Newspapers.com, which mainly returns coverage of Americus, Georgia even when you try to restrict results to Colorado. However, there was an Americus mining company that operated in Colorado in the early 1900s, and hence several references to Americus mines. But that isn't this article.

Delete per WP:SNOW and my own long-used standards. Bearian (talk) 00:33, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
