Fails GNG due to lack of significant coverage. No evidence that this is or was a notable populated place. Sources in the History section mention Cosnino as a landmark but do not place any significance on the location itself.

Keep Easily passes WP:GEOLAND #1 (and WP:GNG as well, even though that's not the test for populated places.) There's lots of newspaper articles on the community on newspapers.com. SportingFlyer T·C 23:54, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep While it's also listed as a city on older highway maps that I have physical copies of, Cosnino has appeared in the news as recently as four days ago. An earlier article about the same incident explicitly describes its location. Here's another story from the past week, this one fortunately not about murder, which describes a different couple living in Cosnino. There was another murder there in 2012 (and believe me, I wish I could cite more positive news). And that's without even getting into the older news links that SportingFlyer found, which don't turn up easily on Google. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 05:11, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep meets GEOLAND and is still being mentioned in the news. -DJSasso (talk) 18:52, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:GEOLAND. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:40, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Passes WP:GEOLAND. It is a real, and populated place, and is receiving news mentions. Part of a large batch of poorly BEFORE'd articles. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 20:44, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
