Don't think this place passes WP:GEOLAND. The State Historical Society calls it a small trading point, which isn't a sign of notability (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tingley, Missouri). I'm finding some Google books hits for a Lutheran Church at the site, as well as one old source that mentioned something being on the window in the store at Meinert. GNIS gives it a census code of U6, which generally seems to be for places without the legal recognition needed to pass WP:GEOLAND. The topos show three buildings at the site, one of which is the church. I'm not seeing how a church, a store, and apparently one other building passes GEOLAND, and GNG doesn't seem to be met, either.

We are normally on all subjects much more flexible in accepting weak articles on historically existing or historically relevant topics. Doing a wider interpretation in such cases is within our discretion. Guidelines are called guidelines because they describe what we usually do. The consensus here will either agree that this should be an exception, or not. DGG ( talk ) 15:22, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
