Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deford, Michigan
distinct named populated places, regardless of whether they are incorporated and have their own local governments, merit their own articles. http://books.google.com/books?id=Y-FPXEGRo-YC&pg=PA151&dq=deford+michigan&lr=&cd=13&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=deford%20michigan&f=false This source alone verifies for me that Deford has or had such a status. At most, it would be merged and redirected to the township or county article; there is indisputably verifiable information, and it is unacceptable that Deford, Michigan would not even be a search term, therefore deletion is not a valid option at all and per  this AFD should never have been started
