  • delete The topos say it was a former rail location, not a town but possibly a minor station. Mangoe (talk) 03:50, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I started this article back when I thought the GNIS was a more reliable indicator of what a populated place was, and I don't think this one holds up. The only possible source I could find on is this one, which doesn't have enough information to confirm it's the same place, and implies that it was a railroad station with nearby farms and not much more.

  • Yeah, the research I found seemed to only come up with a small train station dating back to 1895. That's when the name first appears on topos. For some reason, the name still appears even after the closure of the station.--🌀Kieran207-talk🌀 00:34, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Locale has zero notability beyond the local level.TH1980 (talk) 02:49, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The same source that I found for the discussion of Horrock, West Virginia (AfD discussion) confirms that this is, similarly, a flagstop on the same line. Like that station, that's the only verifiable information that I can find for this. This is non-notable. Uncle G (talk) 10:24, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
