Sourced only to GNIS, there's no evidence that Welco Corners was ever anything more than a highway junction. My BEFORE search returned nothing that described this as a community, much less an officially-recognized one, and sources primarily use it as a landmark ("The highway was repaved from Welco Corners to the county line") which isn't sufficient to establish notability. –dlthewave ☎ 17:16, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Google Earth shows this as another intersection in an area of sprawl in Metro Chicago. The Interstate exit sign says "Joliet Road", not Welco Corners. Today, there's nothing distinctive about this location. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 11:45, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There is no sourcing for this article and there is no reason to believe this place is notable enough to warrant an article.--Mpen320 (talk) 04:08, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
