I highly doubt this is a community, but instead a named intersection where a church and maybe a store may have been at some point. Coordinates quite literally lead me to an intersection between two state highways and a "Four Corners Church" which a Google review describes as being abandoned (https://i.imgur.com/2Ldf2Da.png). There seem to be results on newspapers.com but I can't see them in full because I haven't submitted a TWL request yet. wizzito | say hello! 00:12, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Surprisingly, leaning keep since it does have a post office. I think the Imgur statement is inaccurate, but in any case it does look like a tiny town from the road. My hesitancy is that I can find no text sources of any substance; I could not source any of the current article text. Mangoe (talk) 02:39, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep - Google satellite view shows that Four Corners is populated. Contrary to nom, it appears to be more than just an intersection where things used to exist. It's sparsely populated, but so is everything in Wyoming. I see no reason to delete. Fieari (talk) 07:27, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Seems to be a community and a notable place. --Doncram (talk) 02:26, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- P.S. Note the first hit in the Google books search above, is this usage in a tourist book "Exploring the Black Hills and Badlands": Beaver Creek Cross-Country Ski Trails has "General location: Four miles east of Four Corners, Wyoming. / Access: From Lead, SD, drive 34 miles southwest on U.S. 85 to Four Corners, Wyoming. Drive 4.7 miles east...." And I bet there would lots more hits if the search did not require the exact string "Four Corners, Wyoming", but rather searched for "Four Corners" Wyoming. --Doncram (talk) 02:31, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'm seeing a decent amount in the archives, such as this and [1]. This woman was born here. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 00:35, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This one is about a different Four Corners. –dlthewave ☎ 03:27, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
