GNIS calls it a locale, Rennick calls it a railroad station with a post office and a parsonage. Topos show a railroad point with a couple buildings. Newspapers.com reveals the post office was located within a store, and that the parsonage also had an accompanying church. There was some stuff here, but locales lack legal recognition as a community, so WP:GEOLAND #1 isn't met. Coverage seems to be passing mentions, so I don't think WP:GNG is met, either. This also calls it a locale. Hog Farm _Talk 17:37, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge A church, parsonage, post office, station and some buildings. This sounds like a community and a brief search soon establishes that we have this under its other name of Wilmore, Kentucky. See WP:BEFORE, WP:NOTCLEANUP, &c. Andrew🐉(talk) 11:41, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Strongly oppose a merger, as @Andrew Davidson:, this site is 57 miles (92 km) away from Wilmore. The Scott Station in Wilmore seems to be an apparently unrelated bed and breakfast. A merger would not be appropriate, as the content is not related to the target at all. Hog Farm _Talk 18:57, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, a merger is inappropriate per Hog Farm and there is no indication of GEOLAND being met. "Sounds like a community" is not a valid argument. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 00:22, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

if it sounds/looks like a duck on the other hand.....

Delete per nom. Andrew's findings are interesting, but unfortunately a false positive. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 06:17, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
