On the banks of the Columbia River we take a break from the grain elevators and consider this rail station, for as best I can determine, that's all it was. The station siding is still there, and is southwest of the point marked by GNIS, because for some reason the topo people seized upon a loose spread of buildings as the "town". As far as I can determine, these were farm buildings: the aerials show this area covered by a sizable orchard. At any rate, references addressing the matter directly uniformly refer to this as a station. Mangoe (talk) 00:10, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can find a few references to it but none as anything other than a point on a map. None as a community, which would make this fail WP:GEOLAND. (Sources found are: Eastern Oregon windbreak trees and shrubs and Small park with stone picnic tables near the Washington State town of Sundale along the Columbia River, which forms about four-fifths of the border between Washington and, to the south, Oregon.) snood1205^{(Say Hi!

Keep It needs improvement not deletion. Seems like it can be improved. It has a popular camping area as well. Super (talk) 13:08, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This article can’t be improved. A look through found sources shows no notability. A popular camping area does not warrant an article for this area. Jobie James (talk) 05:50, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Railroad stations are not inherently notable, and this one lacks significant coverage to establish notability. Would support Draftify if editors are willing to work on improving it. –dlthewave ☎ 16:15, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: we take humor where we can find it and this made me laugh "on the banks of the Columbia River we take a break from the grain elevators and consider this rail station".--Milowent • ^hasspoken 21:34, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's a pretty good nom being both funny and to the point. snood1205^{(Say Hi! (talk))} 13:46, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No indication of notability. It's a railroad siding and not a community. Glendoremus (talk) 04:59, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nom and Snood1205. Google Scholar turns up a few papers that happen to mention the place, but none of them focus on the location itself. Jobie James (talk) 05:43, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GEOLAND. Avilich (talk) 20:09, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
