Non-notable railroad junction mislabeled as a community. Found very few newspaper results, none of which cover the location in detail. –dlthewave ☎ 04:24, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

delete I get a zillion rail-related hits, and nothing that even vaguely suggests a settlement. Mangoe (talk) 02:13, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
redirect to Increase A. Lapham, as a honourable mention of the naturalist. Djflem (talk) 05:25, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This doesn't strike me as a good outcome, given that Lapham's article isn't going to say anything significant about the place. Mangoe (talk) 03:53, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's going to say that the rail junction in the woods was named in his honor, which is about him and the place. Djflem (talk) 10:46, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There are two results, both copies of the same article from November 1957, saying that some birds were released there once. Nothing to me indicates that anyone ever lived here, or that it was used as a landmark. jp×g 02:47, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I'm getting passing mentions as a rail feature, and those two references to releasing wild turkeys there that JPxG found. Coverage is not significant. Hog Farm _Talk 05:36, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
