- Delivering mail to a place is a pretty clear guideline that it currently exists and is legally recognised, as does being listed in a "this place is in a legislative district" by the government. There's a sign on the road to a very sad tennis court. It'll always be a stub, but the entire point of
WP:GEOLAND is to ensure we have articles on places that exist that can't quite meet GNG. If papers say "near Wingeel" whenever there's a current accident, if the post delivers there, if it has a live census ID

- Comment It appears that the Australia Bureau of Statistics draws lines on the map to divide up every square inch of rural Australia and gives each set of lines a name. Maybe the area and name was just from that process. The SNG says that areas that are just an abstract set of lines (e.g. electoral district, census tract) on a map are not presumed notable. While I would not argue for the strictest interpretation of requiring establishing GNG compliance, I think that we should at least require sourcing that indicates that this is generally recognized as a place, including a few facts about it as asked above and which could be put into an article. And if not, delete. Sincerely, North8000 (

Census Designated Place except that the latter are set up to record data about settlements without legal boundaries. This comes across as more like a census tract. I'm looking at some of the surrounding cells on the map, and at least one of them lists no data because there aren't enough people there. The one immediately to the east (Hesse) seems to consist of a couple of farms and a few dispersed houses. I don't think that just because the Australian census divided the entire area up into cells, we are obligated to have an article on each one.

- No. It was a parish in the
Shire of Leigh in the 19th and 20th centuries, and there are 19th century listings of the parishes of Leigh that confirm this. Leigh doesn't exist any more. Most of the historical mentions of Wingeel are actually referencing the sheep station at
Barunah Plains and its wool sales at the salesyards in Wingeel. I'm not sure that there really is a U.S. analogue to
local government in Victoria. It's a bit of a stretch to compare Victoria's shires and parishes to (say) midwestern U.S. counties and townships. Canada probably has closer analogues. All of the reaching nonsense afore about signposts and mail delivery is completely missing the sheep.

[8] I suspect that the two uses of Wingeel are rather different though there may be some overlap. In cases like this where places are verifiable from government maps and passing mentions in local media I prefer redirection to deletion. Probably to

- Two uses? I'm not sure what you mean - on the Grenville County map there's clearly a dot for a Wingeel settlement, and the Golden Plains shire shows it's clearly a modern locality. It's also partially in another local government area and is a clearly legally defined settlement, so the redirect doesn't make sense. Best to keep. SportingFlyer T· C 00:22, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Keep while it's label has changed (township, parish, state suburb, locality) it has existed since the 19th century and has been and has remained a named populated place (not census tract) recognized by state and national governments. Djflem ( talk) 16:23, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. Comparing the maps of localities of Golden Plains Shire
[7] and parishes of Grenville County
[8] I suspect that the two uses of Wingeel are rather different though there may be some overlap. In cases like this where places are verifiable from government maps and passing mentions in local media I prefer redirection to deletion. Probably to
Golden Plains Shire as that seems to be the real local government with Grenville County purely notional.

- Two uses? I'm not sure what you mean - on the Grenville County map there's clearly a dot for a Wingeel settlement, and the Golden Plains shire shows it's clearly a modern locality. It's also partially in another local government area and is a clearly legally defined settlement, so the redirect doesn't make sense. Best to keep. SportingFlyer T· C 00:22, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
