Oregon is, thus far, in much better shape than many states, but there are some GNIS-dump examples, such as this 4th class post office. I found two direct testimonies to that: an Arcadia Press book on the county says that "The post office changed locations depending on which local resident was the postmaster", and a self-published memoir of growing up in the area starts with the author being born nearby, and describes the post office as being on "the back porch of a ranch house". Beyond that, I get a lot of other "Suplee area" mentions, and that area is apparently of great interest geologically, as the latter provides the vast majority of book references. But I cannot find anything suggesting there was a town, so I don't think the notability is there. Mangoe ( talk) 02:03, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

*Delete - GNIS spam. @
Mangoe: - I've seen a fourth-class of post-office mentioned in the
old US Post Office regulations, but nothing saying what one was, how official were they? Am I right in thinking that a lot of GNIS spam articles were also fourth-class offices?

- Keep used as a location for heaps of geological articles and is/was definitely a place in a place without places: [1] [2] [3] (fire marshal stationed there) and referred to as a place by a government service [4]. Not just an incorrect database entry, there's actually quite a bit here in a simple search. SportingFlyer T· C 21:34, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
- Keep per my expansion with cites, WP:HEY, WP:BEFORE, WP:AGF, and my personal essay at the AfD for Alicel, Oregon. (See also numerous clips [as of today] mentioning people living in, being from, being born in, moving to, etc. Suplee. [Yes I am aware these are trivial passing mentions.]) Cheers, Valfontis ( talk) 09:57, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
