Rescinding additional nominations. I (Ikjbagl, not the original nominator) am also nominating the following related pages because they are extremely similar to the nominated page and, if the nominated page is deleted, they should also be deleted. Ikjbagl (talk) 18:52, 27 April 2020 (UTC) [reply]

Delete - Cobalt Junction is unincorporated territory, which I think makes it a populated place without legal recognition under WP:GEOLAND. Accordingly, notability is to be established on a case-by-case basis, and I can't find significant coverage of it. Contrast this with some other unincorporated communities in the same county that have at least had post offices. Ikjbagl (talk) 18:16, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~::Comment: I think it is appropriate to bundle the other unincorporated and non-notable territories of the county into this AfD, so I will do so now. Ikjbagl (talk) 18:24, 27 April 2020 (UTC)~~[reply]

Comment No opinion on Cobalt Junction yet, but the rest of the communities definitely don't belong in this AfD. Graham still has its own post office. Brock is referenced in several oilfield reports [1] [2] and had its own general store [3]. Dillard was once big enough to fill an entire newspaper column with updates on the lives of its residents (an article which also has a whole section about Reck). And that's without even checking sources for several of them. Places like that don't belong in the same discussion as a place that wasn't even clearly a settlement, especially when the original nominator didn't even add them.

Delete Cobalt Junction, Keep the rest It is entirely inappropriate to add all of the extra communities to this AfD. It is entirely clear from a quick glance that they are actual towns, unlike Cobalt Junction. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 15:28, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
