Article was deprodded with the rationale of "This page should not be deleted because it has the U6 Census Class Code which is used, as we can read on US Geological Survey's webpage, for Populated (Community) Place (except those associated with facilities). A populated place that is not a census designated or incorporated place having an official federally recognized name. The deletion suggested says that the place is a railroad siding. If it were a railroad then it would not have U6 Census Class Code, because that code does not includes facilites as a railroad siding is."
This is contradicted by the fact that GNIS does mislabel railroad sidings as "populated places" (see
WP:GNIS) and no other sources have been found to corroborate the label.
Even if we do take the GNIS source at face value, this location is neither legally recognized nor does it meet GNG, therefore failing the
WP:GEOLAND notability guideline.
There's been a bit of
discussion on the article's talk page regarding the existence of a road, a ranch and some sort of high point as well as a permit application that uses the name. None of this changes my assessment; it does appear that the "Lookout" name is used as a local landmark, but none of this is sufficient to establish notability. –
