Well, here we have quite the comedy of errors, beginning with the GNIS entry, which is just flat-out wrong, and I don't know why, because if you look at the correct location in older maps, the name is right there on the topos. (I've fixed it in the article.) But then we have the assertion in the place names book that the "village" was named after the juxtaposition of the four township names. The correct answer is hinted at in the article: it's not a village or "unincorporated community" or anything except the intersection where the monument is situated. And it is that monument itself which gives the place its name, as stated in this page from the Four Presidents Corners Historical Society: "Joseph Marquart, a rural mail carrier, promoted the creation of a monument recognizing the uniqueness of the junction of the four townships named for presidents." The monument was erected and dedicated in 1917, and that's all there ever was to the place. There might be some notability to the monument (personally I think it's marginal at best), but that's a different article. Mangoe ( talk) 04:04, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- Delete: Huh, interesting topic to learn about. But, per nom, there is no evidence that any sort of community exists or has existed there. — Danre98( talk^ contribs) 04:13, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- Draftify: This should be incubated to allow for the article to be more about the Four Presidents Corner Monument than the article which is currently about a non-notable GNIS location. This article has enough in the way of citations that a little incubation and then moving it back to article space at Four Presidents Corner Monument. Tartar Torte 13:38, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
