message: A non-fan of non-places is prodding some likely-to-be-places. I'll be working on Rice, Oregon. OGN is apparently now considered just a gazetteer, so use moar sources. Others:
*Dant, Oregon
*Fairbanks, Oregon @Tedder
*Kingsley, Oregon
*Whiskey Dick, Oregon (likely just a "funny place name", I haven't checked yep, created by "Blue Bucket Cow Camp" guy)
Happy researching, Valfontis (talk) 04:42, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I contested Fairbanks but agree with Dant, fwiw. Cracking open "Stations West" and not even finding "Dant" mentioned wasn't exactly an endorsement. tedder (talk) 18:31, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Howdy. I dunno, Dant was created by  and he has pretty good instincts as far as notability. Valfontis (talk) 18:36, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

text: Hello , I decided not to PROD Kingsley because I could find far more mentions of it in local newspapers than I could Rice (although most of them were trivial mentions of somebody "of Kingsley" doing something completely unnotable, as small-town newspapers often used to print).  If you're aware of more substantial information then by all means add it and remove my PROD.  I'm not committed to deleting these articles, I just don't think we should have articles about places where all we can say is its name, location, and when it had a post office.  That gets into WP:INDISCRIMINATE territory.  But if we can say more, we should keep the articles.  BTW, my understanding is Google Maps (or other maps) are fine for proving existence (e.g. the cemetery) but not notability. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 23:19, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: I took a run at finding sources, but perhaps not enough. Is it still in existence? Their homepage is now in Korean, maybe? Plus, I feel the need to shower... — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 00:47, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

message: He is listed as being a 2 month Governor of Oregon  yet he does not appear on the Oregon Governors page. Also the dates for Lane's first term and Gaines' term are inaccurate if we properly add Prichette back in. This needs to be reconciled. Coyotez (talk) 21:41, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
