Fails
WP:GNG through lack of significant coverage; many partial mentions, but no significant coverage. All sources currently provided are primary sources.
Keep This is surely a joke. The reasons given would apply to many small localities in Australia. I and many others have invested thousands of hours to ensure that these articles contain as much useful information as is contained in the sources available to us. For our readers they serve to flesh out their knowledge and understanding of this vast country, which is surely one of the roles of an encyclopedia.

If this is all the information that exists on it, then it cannot be kept, as it violates
WP:PRIMARY; Do not base an entire article on primary sources. The reader also doesn't benefit from such articles; they would be better off if redirected to a list of localities.

How can references 2 and 4 be regarded as primary sources? They are summaries of information in primary sources provided by the Tasmanian Government, therefore secondary in my book. Reference 1 is also a summary of information from the primary sources, the census forms completed by households.

Speedy procedural close Check TROVE. There seem to be thousands of potential references for the Tasmanian Golconda. The BEFORE done here must have been fundamentally flawed.

Trove gives me a fatal accident in 1893, a cricket match in 1905, and an item about a chapter of a book about a mine in 1881. Hardly encyclopediac and not quite "thousands".

Keep - BEFORE? what BEFORE? Also, I agree with Downsize43 on the question of primary sources. The nom's interpretation of WP:PRIMARY here is adrift.

Keep I think it does pass being legally recognized per GEOLAND as I don't think a place has to be a municipality or district. An official figure from a census seems to pass this and anyway it can be seen from
GeoNames that there is also a settlement by this name. Also it has coverage from an independent source about its name origin which I think is also a good indicator of notability. Crouch, Swale (
