not a suburb see www.ga.gov.au; the modest content is highly inaccurate and is probably a mediocre hoax attempt Crusoe8181 (talk) 07:07, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Nothing on Google Maps for this place and this Google search doesn't bring anything back either. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 08:50, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment it is at Place Names Australia as LOCU, that is 'Locality (unbounded), Place name, Road corner, Road bend, Corner, Meteorological station, Ocean place name, Surfing spot' Paul foord (talk) 13:59, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Heaps of resources indicate that it should be kept.--Coekon (talk) 22:33, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, most of the article is sourced to the Hornsby council's Wiki, but that page seems to have been deleted. Where there is quite a bit of historical coverage of a 'LOCU' they can be notable, but this one has very little except empty directory entries and the like.

Comment by nominator Yes it does exist, as a LOCU (a neighbourhood) but where?? Certainly not anywhere near Neutral Jn or Cooranbong. Nothing wrong with a redirect to the suburb which it is within or maybe even heaps of resources? could conceivably create an article but we usually do not hold our collective breaths for such to happen, do we ?

- Reply, putting the figures from Geoscience Australia into Google Maps gives us this: [1]. It looks like a forest alright, but there's no indication in Google Maps that there's anything by that name there. The location does match what's on Bonzle here. It also looks like it's in Hornsby Shire. That said, the lack of substantial secondary sources on this place would indicate to me that while this place formally exists, it's a non-notable rural locality.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Relisting comment: So far, no consensus was reached, let us discuss more.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:16, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the spirit of our notability guidelines is basically to ensure that we only make articles on subjects for which there's actually sourceable, verifiable, encyclopedic things to say. Very little information on this particular locality seems to be available, apart from the fact that it disputably exists - it's not even unanimous as to where it is or what it consists of. ~ mazca ^talk 13:32, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
