GNIS entry is sourced to Rennick, who doesn't mention a Rogers in Logan County in either his Logan County directory or his index. No feature named Rogers is marked at the coordinates given in pre-GNIS topos. Newspapers.com, Google search, and Google books only bring up last names, but no indication of a legally recognized community here. Rennick's annotated topographic map has "Rogers N." written near the supposed site of this, but with nothing else mentioning a community here, WP:GEOLAND and WP:GNG are not met.

Delete I can't find any more sources than you could, and I suspect this article was the byproduct of an old editing practice of mine that I've since stopped doing. Back when I trusted GNIS entries more, if there were multiple populated places in a state with the same name and I wanted to start an article for one of them, I would usually write articles for all of them to avoid any issues with disambiguation. In this case, I wanted to write an article about Rogers, Wolfe County, Kentucky since it has its own post office, so I figured I'd write this one while I was at it. Unfortunately, since we've now figured out that a lot of GNIS "populated places" are either minor locales or other things entirely, some of those same-name places look a lot more questionable.

delete I really have to wonder what happened at GNIS with these entries from Rennick, because in other cases there tends to be at least something to hook an entry to. In this case, there is just nothing there until relatively recently. Mangoe (talk) 19:20, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
