According to this Press-Enterprise article, "While there used to be a place called Willard, it was never a town, and apparently was never meant to be." The author continues by relating the history of this 4th class post office, and concludes, "Although there was never an actual town of Willard, that is, no map was ever drawn and no lots were ever sold, it showed up on early maps of the area for a sufficient enough time that it was often mistaken as a full-fledged town." It should be clear from this that WP:GEOLAND isn't met. Mangoe (talk) 05:03, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
