Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Berea, Iowa
The http://www.historicmapworks.com/Map/US/124994/Eureka+Township++Berea+P+O/Adair+County+1901/Iowa/ 1901 Adair County plat map shows about 12 houses in Berea, so this was more than just a post office, even though it clearly always was a hamlet or village. It also appears on the 1901 Rand McNally map of Iowa. My 1960 World Book Encyclopedia shows the community on the map of Iowa (on page 306) so it would be strange for ''this'' encyclopedia to not mention Berea where others have. While there ''may'' no longer be residents here now, |notability is not temporary, and there are sources which cover this community, even some sources fairly easily located. I can dig up some more, as I've done with Arbor Hill, Iowa (also nominated for deletion this week). This community was noted at the time, and so editors' concerns about false GNIS data don't apply to this community
