A large development with its own lake, the history of which is outlined
on their website. I did find a bunch of reports about their septic system, but other than that it's all real estate and gazetteers.

Which coverage? Where? In the article? Which references are you referring to, because none of what you've mention appears in the article...so that doesn't appear to be valid argument.

Newspapers.com shows page after page of legal notices and occasional advertisements
[1][2][3][4], and the two potential SIGCOV sources in the article
[5][6] aren't independent of the subject. I'm not convinced that this meets GEOLAND either. "Town" has various meanings in different states, and in this case it seems to describe a plot of land that has been divided into lots for sale similar to a subdivision. –

One would expect real estate ads/legal notices for any/all of the thousands of places of in the USA, wouldn't one?. Unclear what the point is, since that's normal and certainly not disqualifying. Indiana statues certainly make a
distinction between towns and subdivisons (which in itself is certainly not disqualifying), but certainly the
county and the courts of law legally recognize Grandview Lake as a unincorporated town (not a muncipalituy), as is
not uncommon in Indiana. While platting does not necessary mean the town developed (as have oft been repeated as reason for deletion), in this case it definitely did.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: If GEOLAND is met, "keep" and "merge" are both still possible; which is preferred? Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Vanamonde (

Keep per
Wikipedia:NGEO. I'm not really seeing a benefit to merging with Ohio Township which is a town next to Grandview Lake. The two are geographically close but otherwise not related.

No, in Indiana townships are not towns, they are subdivisions of counties. Grandview Lake is within and locally governed by Ohio Township.

Delete I do not believe this passes either GEOLAND or GNG. Looking at the refs listed, most lack significant coverage. GNIS is not considered sufficient for notability, and the two refs about the dam seem to be of similar quality (listing the dam in databases). The one source that appears to have significant coverage is the McCray book. This book was published by the HOA, however, and thus cannot be considered independent. Thus, this article appears to lack significant, independent, coverage and should be deleted in accordance with our policies. -
