According to the website cited in the article, this is a town which never really happened. Beyond that site, which really doesn't cut it as a reliable source, I get nothing of any substance. There definitely was a church there, and I suspect that what looks like an ag supply business now may have evolved out of the businesses started by Mr. Hirsch, but while there are plenty of signs that people thought of this as a larger locale, but indications are that there wasn't a settlement here.

comment The state of the article puts it in a similar state as we have with Trotters: there's material on the church especially, but nothing which says that there was actually a town here. What are you going to say it is, since it isn't an apparently never was an "unincorporated community"? Mangoe (talk) 05:00, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please clarify this comment. Hirschville is commonly referred to as a community, and it is unincorporated. If you feel that places are inappropriately categorized, the solution is not to delete the articles, but to change the categorization. Doremo (talk) 06:47, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
