Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Strand, Iowa
My understanding is that this deletion nomination is based on the belief that Strand was not a community, and may be a GNIS error. But I was able to find https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/51956238/ an 1895 Adams County Free Press article which discusses the new ownership of the Lovig Store "in Strand", indicating they knew Strand was a community. Even today, the church at Strand is open, and their website mentions being in Strand. Strand appears on the Rand McNally 1903 State of Iowa map, so they regarded it as a community in that era. I was able to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Strand%2C_Iowa&type=revision&diff=1026382366&oldid=1024270076 expand the article using these sources and others. |Notability is not temporary, and since this small community was noted by multiple sources from 1875 to present, there's no reason to delete it
