This article is of very low quality and should be deleted. The Parkers-Iron Springs, Arkansas article already covers everything stated in this article and is of much higher quality. Duchess of Bathwick (talk · contribs) 01:48, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Parkers-Iron Springs, Arkansas. They clearly refer to the same place and it makes sense to redirect, to avoid recreation later.- Mgm|^(talk) 09:44, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep poor quality is now a basis to delete? Since when? Real place=keep. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:09, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Parkers-Iron Springs, Arkansas. I'd almost always try to Keep an article about a real place, but in this instance all of the reliable sourcing I can find refers to the community as part of Parkers-Iron Springs. The combined area is its own Census Designated Place, which is a key US Statistical unit. The corresponding element of the combined community, Parkers, is a freshly-minted redirect to the combined Parkers-Iron Springs article. So, in this case, I'd say we redirect this title, as I just did with Parkers, and we see if anything about the two elements of the combination can be documented in Reliable Sources. Unfortunately, I'm not finding anything to back this as its own article. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 15:37, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect to Parkers-Iron Springs, Arkansas. The general practice when two communities are merged into one CDP is to discuss both communities as part of the CDP, and this community doesn't look notable enough to be an exception. (Of course, when the U.S. Census Bureau stops merging CDPs in 2010, these can be split, but until that happens they belong in the same article.)
