I don't think this place meets WP:GEOLAND. The State Historical Society calls it a "small trading point", an old local history [1] calls it a "post village" and a flag station on the Frisco railroad. Topos never show more than five buildings here. GNIS gives it a census code of U6, which means it is not incorporated and probably means it doesn't pass the legally recognized community portion of WP:GEOLAND.

Keep it's pretty clear Pilgrim had residents and served as a rural trading point, even though the population of the community was small. 72.49.7.25 ( talk) 04:16, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
- The farm I grew up on had residents and was a meeting point where people exchanged things. Is it notable now? Hog Farm Bacon 10:48, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. A trading point is more than an empty building or a name on a map. It's a place which at least for some period in history was an actual, tho possibly small, community-in this case consisting also of a church, and dwellings. A place which has those basic elements is (or in this case, was)., an actual community: , a trading place., and a place where people lived. such trading posts are of historical importance.

Had a population on 100 in 1895. A merge to Pilgrim Township might be appropriate also. ~

- Merge to Pilgrim Township, Dade County, Missouri. The township was named after the older settlement located within it, so, since the settlement has never been incorporated, they are really the same place. This article mentions a population of 129 for the township. blameless 02:36, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
