It's not an unincorporated community. It's a resort. wizzito | say hello! 00:21, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you are correct, then both the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) need correction more than this article. The USGS indicates that it is "Populated Place" (as opposed to simply a "Place"--somewhere that human activity occurs). Additionally, the USGS 1994 map for the area indicates both "Fairmont" (a variant name for Fairmont Hot Springs) and "Gregson Hot Springs" (a variant name for the Fairmont Hot Springs Resort).Butte North MDT uses a green sign for Fairmont Hot Springs, as opposed to the brown signs used for resorts, (for examplet Road sign for Blacktail Mountain resort).

The WP:GNIS is well known for its errors in type classification, so yes the USGS needs a lot of correction, hence the hundreds of AFDs we've gone through for places. Same for transportation departments in many states that use the USGS data, and their listings are regardless not the same as notability here. Reywas92^Talk 12:34, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Resort, not a community. There are lots of hot springs and resorts incorrectly labled as such in California as well that we've had to fix. I see you've created Fairmont Hot Springs Resort, though with sourcing to its own website and routine hotel listings I'm not convinced its notable either.

Merge to Fairmont Hot Springs Resort. Seems to simply be a resort, on the outskirts of Butte. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 11:25, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Fairmont Hot Springs Resort; notability of the resort can be revisited later if needed. Hog Farm _Talk 05:13, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Fairmont Hot Springs Resort as a first step; an overall assessment of Gregson, Montana, Gregson Hot Springs, Fairmont Hot Springs and Fairmont using reliable sources (not USPS, GNIS or road signs) is also in order. Are these different places? –dlthewave ☎ 02:46, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
