Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whitton, Illinois
for now, because of the obituary and case citation indicating a population, cited by Cactus Jack.  I'd be interested in knowing whether this existed before the Savanna Army Depot; from the https://www2.illinois.gov/dnr/INPC/Pages/Area1JodaviessHanoverBluff.aspx Hanover Bluff topo map (cited by Hammersoft) it appears that Whitton was basically a railroad crossing just outside of the Savanna Army Depot boundary.  (Though someone claiming seriously to be "from" there is a good indicator of a real settlement, it wouldn't be appropriate to make "at least one person was from" to be an outright  criteria on its own; by that criteria, https://illinois.hometownlocator.com/il/jo-daviess/griffiths-mobile-home-park.cfm Griffiths Mobile Home Park IL to the northeast would be notable.  A lot of these U.S. names come from the U.S. topographic maps via the Geographic Names Information System tagged as populated places, which doesn't make a distinction between types of settlements, and considered railroad stops to be settlements as well.  HomeTownLocator is an example of a "source" that is just an automated page about each GNIS entry.  We could find someone "from" the trailer park very quickly in theory, since there are still 9 trailers there
