I don't think this is a notable site. The non-GNIS source calls it a A railroad stop in the eastern part of Logan Township, named for Dave Bedwell, a prominent settler of Dickens Valley, which somehow got worked into this being an unincorporated community when this article was created. Searching is rather difficult, as Bedwell was a common last name of a family of businessmen in the relevant time frame. Found some appearances in old railroad timetables listing Bedwell as a non-standard stop after Ellington and before either Fruit City or Red Oaks depending on which year you look at. I don't think this site is notable. Hog Farm _Talk 18:21, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete GNIS cites this topo, which does not depict a notable community. I'll go with Ramsay's description of just being an old RR stop, perhaps where the Bedwells lived. Reywas92^Talk 21:12, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As per nom lacks in-depth coverage in reliable sources. Ambrosiawater (talk) 04:38, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Totally not notable; the article is one sentence. How is this town any different than every other town in the US or even the world? Just because it exists doesn’t make it notable. Star7924 (talk) 15:19, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Doesn't meet notability criteria. Fails GNG. TheDreamBoat (talk) 04:01, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
