A town should be notable, but I couldn't find the reliable sources to show it meets WP:GNG or WP:NPLACE. Boleyn ( talk) 22:14, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

- Delete, fails WP:GEOLAND. Dan arndt ( talk) 01:24, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Delete for the reasons above. Also it is noteworthy that the town is not documented on OpenStreetMap and even if it does shown to actually be a real entity, it is most likely not a standalone settlement. CactiStaccingCrane ( talk) 16:32, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per

- @ Bearian: I don't know if you can PER rationale to SNOW? Unless you are arguing for—and have the policy to back up—a CSD. AfDs are entitled to their 7 days. And you aren't citing any community census, policy, or guidelines but your own rationale? Remember that AfD's are closed based on reasonable, logical, policy-based arguments (at WP:NOTEARLY). microbiologyMarcus ( petri dish· growths) 19:01, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- Ok. How about there are virtually no citations? How about a total lack of newspaper articles about it, or scholarly articles about it, or a single line in one primary source? A single gazette book line does not constitute significant coverage, which is theoretically required for every article or stub in Wikipedia. SNOW can be invoked whenever there is no hope for a nominated article, no "keep' !votes, and a good-faith search finds no relevant sources. In 2024, everyone knows we are not a free web host of all the information in the universe. So, yes, I am arguing this is a candidate for speedy deletion. Bearian ( talk) 19:45, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
