17 km, Sakhalin Oblast: Looking at the Russian version, I see that it was designated a село, but even given the vague nature of the term, there's no evidence that there was or is a village/whatever there; indeed, I cannot find a feature on GMaps or anything similar which I can identify as this place.

If the GEOLAND standard (a guideline ) is literally leading us to keep articles about non-notable railway stations in the middle of nowhere that nothing notable can be written about against WP:IINFO (a policy ) then that’s a reason to doubt that GEOLAND is guiding us correctly.  GEOLAND anyway only creates a presumption of notability, a presumption that is decisively rebutted by a simple reference to common sense: this is a railway station with a staff of two people.  No evidence at all is presented above of it having ever been anything but this.  None of the references in the Russian language article help with this - indeed they highlight the true nature of what is being discussed: the locality had no population when it was designated a “village” in 2004, it had no population at the next census either.  In 2021 the locality was recorded with a population of 2 people.  “Village” status in Russia can therefore be given to locations with an official population of zero.  This is therefore not a “legally recognised populated place” since it does not need to have a population to receive or keep the status.  FOARP ( talk ) 03:16, 5 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It is very much a "legally recognized populated place" because  a) it is listed as such in all official lists of populated places (whereas generic railway stations are not); and  b) the staff of railway stations is counted at the official place of residence of the said staff (which must be at an officially recognized inhabited locality, not at a place of work like a railway station).  Inhabited locality status is also never given to (yet or already) unpopulated areas (although a previously populated place with an inhabited locality status may still retain said status despite later becoming depopulated); but even then (and even after officially having been removed from record) such places would continue to meet our criteria for keeping.  The 2004 law which granted this place the status of a selo was simply one that unified the types of smaller inhabited localities across the whole of Sakhalin Oblast; it was not one transforming a random railway station into a brand new populated place; "17 km" already had populated place status before that (since at least 1948, as a matter of fact).  It was one of seven rural localities (5 "settlements" and 2 "stations") under jurisdiction of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk which got reclassified as selos (both "settlement" and "station" had already been legally recognized types of rural localities before; along with "village" and "selo").  Furthermore, the Law on the Administrative-Territorial division of 2011 (and the Law this one replaced) specifically clarified that supporting structures are not on their own considered to be proper inhabited localities; inhabited locality status would specifically have to be granted for that to stop being the case: Населённые местности, имеющие временное значение и непостоянный состав населения и (или) являющиеся объектами служебного назначения (вахтовые и дачные посёлки, железнодорожные будки, дома лесников, заимки, полевые станы, метеостанции, животноводческие стоянки, прииски, лесоучастки и другие объекты), а также одиночные дома не являются самостоятельными населёнными пунктами и числятся за теми населёнными пунктами, с которыми находятся в административных, производственно-коммерческих и социально-бытовых отношениях.  ( Populated territories with temporary significance and non-permanent population and (or) service objects (shift and dacha settlements, railroad cabins, foresters' houses, camps, field camps, meteorological stations, livestock camps, mines, timber plots, and other objects), as well as stand-alone houses are not considered to be inhabited localities and are registered with those inhabited localities with which they are in administrative, industrial-commercial, and social-residential relations --Article 8.4).  Сельские населённые пункты делятся на следующие виды:  1) село;  2) посёлок;  3) станция;  4) разъезд;  5) хутор;  6) иные населённые пункты, не отнесенные к городским населённым пунктам.  ( Rural locality types include:  1) selo ; 2) settlement;  3) station;  4) junction;  5) khutor ; 6) other inhabited localities not classified as urban --Article 8.3).  I also would like to note that assuming that just the population is 2 it means it must be "staff" is pure original research and a conjecture.  The very WP:NGEO you're quoting states that [p]opulated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low.  Even abandoned places can be notable, because notability encompasses their entire history , and there is plenty of evidence that 17 km is indeed a legally recognized place, which was populated in the past, even if it not now.  Note also that 10 km, 14 km, 16 km, and 19 km are all bona fide "railway stations" in the immediate vicinity.  None of them have or, to the best of my knowledge, ever had an official inhabited locality status or had their population recorded separately.  If any of those were to be created based on the NGEO guideline alone, they would have to be immediately deleted.  But 17 km is not the same at all. — Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • ( yo? ); October 5, 2023 ; 04:39 (UTC) 04:39, 5 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] "Inhabited locality status is also never given to (yet or already) unpopulated areas" - sorry, but here we have an example of exactly that occurring.  The population was recorded as zero in 2002 and zero in 2010 according to RU Wiki, yet it became a selo in 2004? Saying it previously had another status at another time is neither here nor there unless it is demonstrated that there was ever a real settlement at this location - 2004 is when it became a selo , which is the status you're arguing gives it legal recognition.  If you're going to claim the place was a legally-recognised populated place in 1948, this requires evidence that you aren't producing.  Instead we can see from the RU Wiki article that it was given a station-name according to a local declaration in 1947 on railway station names in the area, that it was made a "territorial unit", and then designated a crossing - none of these shows it to be populated.  That the people who live there are railway staff is a simple logical conclusion drawn from the fact that the only buildings in the tiny area specified in the RU wiki article (0.028  km²) are railway buildings.  Citing example of places that don't have articles is pure WP:WAX , particularly when you are arguing on the keep side - I could just as easily state that this place has no real difference to those other places other than being a zero-population line-item on the Russian census and so equally does not warrant an article.  Finally, is anyone really surprised if Russia does not always follow its own laws?  Particularly in a state where there is every benefit in exaggerating population?  FOARP ( talk ) 08:31, 5 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It didn't "become" a selo in 2004, at least not in the sense you're implying.  It was simply a change of terminology.  Sakhalin Oblast recognizes a variety of terms used to refer to rural localities, but there is no difference in status between them; the terms are mostly customary or historical, and pretty much interchangeable.  From NGEO's point of view, whether a place is Sakhalin Oblast is a village, a selo , a station, a junction, or a settlement does not matter; what matters that they are all officially recognized rural localities of identical status, are listed as such, and track their own population (something that's not done for, say, a railway station which does not have a rural locality status—and there are dozens of those in Sakhalin Oblast, none of which would survive an AfD based on NGEO alone).  Whether such places currently have a population or not does not matter either; nor does their size.  Per NGEO, even abandoned inhabited localities which had at some point been officially recognized warrant an article.  17 km meets every requirement for inclusion and will continue to do so forever, until the community agrees to change the NGEO guideline in a way that it no longer does.  You of course already know that, so I'm not sure why you keep bringing the lack of population up.  The 1948 establishment claim I got from the Russian Wikipedia article, yes.  It lists this document as a source (which I looked at and can confirm that it says exactly that).  The "territorial unit" in the 1948 context means the same as the "inhabited locality" classification in modern context; "inhabited localities" are, and always have been, a subclass of "administrative-territorial divisions" (all of which automatically meet NGEO).  The "crossing"/"junction" is another term that's been historically used (and is still used) in Sakhalin Oblast to refer to one of the types of rural localities (a subclass of "inhabited localities", a subclass of "territorial units", a subclass of "administrative-territorial divisions"--it's all in the same 2011 Law I cited above).  Just like with the "stations", it does not mean that every single station/junction is automatically classified as an inhabited locality; only those specifically and explicitly conferred this status are (and in reality, it's not the station building where people work that gets this status, but the delineated territory on which that building and people's actual places of residence are located; one their own, station and service buildings would not even qualify, as the law citation I provided above would confirm).  And also, I'm sorry, but your last sentence makes it really difficult to take any of your arguments seriously and strongly suggests a bias.  It also makes no sense in this context (how does one "exaggerate population" by reporting population of zero year after year?). — Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • ( yo? ); October 5, 2023 ; 18:00 (UTC) 18:00, 5 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] "From NGEO's point of view, whether a place is Sakhalin Oblast is a village, a selo, a station, a junction, or a settlement does not matter; what matters that they are all officially recognized rural localities of identical status" - yet this list includes things that are palpably not villages?  And at least 20,000 of Russia's 150,000 rural settlements are unpopulated?  So what we're talking about aren't actually places that are required at any level to be populated in order to keep their status under Russian law, and can receive that status when not populated?  FOARP ( talk ) 13:49, 6 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete .  Leaving aside the fact GEOLAND is a guideline, not something ironclad we must follow, there's no evidence it actually meets the criteria.  Two people living somewhere is a house, not a continuously-inhabited place, historic or otherwise, e that is meant by GEOLAND.  If it's notable or was previously much more populous, it has to actually demonstrate that via sourcing.  Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 20:33, 5 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] If GEOLAND, as a guideline, is "not something ironclad we must follow", so is GNG or any other notability guideline, and IINFO doesn't apply, leaving no reason to delete.  Peter James ( talk ) 11:01, 7 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] WP:IINFO is policy, not a guideline, and WP:N and WP:GNG are higher-level guidelines than GEOLAND.  But more essentially, this is an argument for ignoring the evidence of our own eyes and common sense: this is simply a railway station.  FOARP ( talk ) 13:40, 7 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] If one guideline can be ignored, another can be - and without exceptions such as GEOLAND and NPROF it's likely that GNG would only be an essay.  And I've explained below why the policy is not relevant.  Peter James ( talk ) 15:24, 7 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Lieutenant Kijé would like to comment First, let it be pointed out that the language of the guideline says that legally-recognized places are " typically " included.  It is entirely reasonable to take some class of whatever some people regard as such recognition and exclude it.  We've already done so with GNIS's "populated places" (which seem to be from a gazetteer standpoint to be essentially the same as Russian selos) and this seems to be the first time we've really confronted the issue of Russian place classifications, so it's entirely reasonable not to take this as a done deal.  Second, it is entirely reasonable to expect these sources to be consistent with more primary reports.  The problems with GNIS became apparent when they were checked against their source topo maps and against aerial photography.  In this wise the various suppositions above concerning the increase or decrease of population stand out, for surely primary sources must be preferred against mere speculation.  Third, as alluded to above, it is apparent that, whatever seems to be said about it historically, in the current tabulations "selo" appears to encompass many places that aren't villages and were not so historically.  The current case is just one of many that appear to be nothing more than train stations and appear to have always been so.   It is curious that, although frequently "selo" is translated mechanically as "village", in other cases it appears in English as "rural locality", though the two are hardly synonyms.  Finally, as far as bias is concerned, at least in the US these places haven't been considered notable in their own right, nor have 4th class post offices, another common case of supposed legal recognition; one might question whether Russian officialdom should somehow make them more so there.  And yes, of old Russian governments have gotten a reputation for attempting to will things into being through force of edict.  Surely in this case one might take the elevation of the area about an isolated rail stop into a villages which once might have held a church as straining at credibility.  Mangoe ( talk ) 20:54, 5 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The difference is that with GNIS places there is only a name, type of feature, coordinates and date of addition to the GNIS database; the type of feature is not always correct, and sometimes there is no other information, and I think an article should be something more specific than "name on a map".  And the status of the area is not "straining at credibility": "villages which once might have held a church" could describe parishes in England and Wales; townships (in some counties), extra-parochial places and a small number of hamlets have become civil parishes, including many with no church and some that have never been villages.  That doesn't mean that each should be an article; exceptions would be the "Unnamed" parishes created as a result of the Local Government Act 1894 that usually had no buildings or population.  There could be a discussion about whether to exclude some rural localities and to decide on the criteria, but that shouldn't be based on misleading comparisons with North America.  Peter James ( talk ) 11:01, 7 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] North America is far more instructive a comparison here than the UK, since it is a settler-colonised place similar to most of Russia.  FOARP ( talk ) 13:41, 7 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The United States doesn't have the equivalent administrative or statistical units in rural areas.  Peter James ( talk ) 15:24, 7 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] This is really begging the question.  I'm not sure this claim is even true because I cannot get a straight answer as to what a selo is that is consistent with the various spots so designated, so I cannot say that in the US there isn't something of the same ilk designated on the state level.  Everything I run across says it's a village that at one time would have had an (Orthodox) church, and yet plenty of selos we've come across aren't villages and give no evidence of ever having been villages.  This suggests/implies that the GNIS experience does model this, and that whatever the designation is supposed to mean, it is often enough applied in error or for some other reason not consonant with the reality of the place.  Therefore the I'm-not-even-sure-it's-a-fact that it is somehow more of a legal recognition than GNIS's classification or for that matter the USPO designation of 4th class post offices does not persuade me that the situation is actually different.  As far as I know, this is the first time we've undertaken a serious examination of Russian places, and the guideline has a strong Euro-American or even Anglo-American bias as to how places exist legally, so given what we are finding, I don't think selos are "typical" of obviously notable legally recognized places.  What it looks like is that plenty of them fail GNG conspicuously for the usual reason that items entered from government databases are prone to fail GNG: outside of the listing (which I must insist is a primary source) there just is nothing else to go by, certainly nothing extensive and secondary.  And there are plenty of examples which are quite a bit worse than this one.

FOARP ( talk ) 06:02, 9 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The phrase WP:GEOLAND is "Populated, legally recognized places".  Whether the subject of this article is a settlement or not depends on the meaning of settlement - if it means a town or village it is not, but it means any populated place it is.  Peter James ( talk ) 11:56, 11 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] But if it means any populated place then streets and individual houses listed on censuses (as they are in the UK) then gain the presumption of notability under GEOLAND, which cannot have been the intention of the people who drafted WP:NGEO , not least because they included separate criteria for individual buildings, even ones people live in.  It makes more sense to read legal recognition as being in the sense of legal empowerment, which would exclude mere statistical units whilst including places having some level of self-administration.  It makes even more sense to simply say that GEOLAND was never written for somewhere like Russia, but that's by-the-by.  FOARP ( talk ) 13:40, 11 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .

Administrative/municipal division sections or articles about the corresponding administrative/municipal division are a perfect location for that, although in some cases we'd need stand-alone lists, because some administrative/municipal divisions may host dozens to hundreds of inhabited localities.
