Another mass-created falsehood. Ramsay describes this as a rail switch in a potato-farming area, and the topos show a rail point with basically nothing there before the area is covered over by a wastewater treatment plant. Searching determines that the proper name of this place is actually Cobbler's Switch and that this was a railroad shipping point for potatoes, but the coverage I found is pretty trivial and not enough to build a notable stub out of this. Rail switches do not get the WP:GEOLAND pass and while some meet GNG, this one does not. Hog Farm _Talk 19:31, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Place does not exist as a settlement, and even if its use as a potato shipping point was notable, potatoes clearly don't grow from wastewater (Right? Right? I just ate fries yesterday, someone tell me I'm right), so it's not like it's in use anymore. AdoTang (talk) 00:07, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah delete - I'll agree on this one rather lacking and not a community. Vsmith (talk) 20:56, 4 June 2021 (UTC) ... and a side note to User:AdoTang, taters will grow on any water supply and cow or horse manure fertilizer grows really tasty taters :) Vsmith (talk) 20:56, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nomination; the article also does zero to establish why this place is notable, being a mere two short sentences long.TH1980 (talk) 01:49, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No reliable sources, no evidence of notability. Fails GNG. TheDreamBoat (talk) 05:37, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
