Keep: Although I may be a little biased considering I created the page, I do think every village/town deserves to have a Wikipedia page, even if the town doesn’t exist anymore. The town is on Google Maps as well, so considering it was able to land a spot on Google Maps, it surely should have a Wikipedia page, right? Once again - I may be biased, I was the person who created the page, so don’t take my word as truth. I just wanted to say this. Thanks :D

Delete: Apart from Ref. 2 (which is obviously not RS) the only mention I could find is this book:
[1], and that only mentions the location in the caption to one photo (i.e. a passing mention). Clearly not notable.

Delete Ref 2 says it was renamed
Wapanucka, Oklahoma, so I don't see why any history more reliably sourced than this can't be mentioned at that article. This is not a town, so any concept that all towns should have a page does not apply here, and Google Maps is not a basis for notability whatsoever (
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Susie, Washington is on it...there's not humans making decisions to put names on there...)

Redirect to
Wapanucka, Oklahoma per
WP:GEOLAND. It was the name of a town, which was later renamed Wapanucka, per reference #2 in the current article (unreliable) plus The Daily Ardmoreite (Ardmore, Oklahoma) 20 Mar 1947, page 11, "...Mr. Taylor came from Cleveland, Tenn., April 20, 1879, to Button Springs, later called Wapanucka." and further, The Daily Oklahoman (Oklahoma City) 29 Jan 1961, page 11 of the Oklahoma's Orbit Section, Page 71 on newspapers.com, "...Residents say Wapanucka is an Indian name for Button Springs, which the present town was called until the late 1800's.". Add to this the fact that the current article lists the location of the town as "0.6 miles south of Wapanucka". It's the same place. Redirect instead of merge because I don't think there's much to save in the existing article at this point.
