Notability?[edit]

I can find no other source for this place, other than the GNIS page, which lists the are as a locale, distinct from a populated place. This is from 1979, and seems to be outdated, as the area described in the entry is currently more of a populated place. In fact, the same source seems to describe the area Great Falls, which I can find find far more mentions of elsewhere. In short, this source and this article citing the source are the only mentions I can find of this place being called Shady Oak, whereas Great Falls appears to be far more notable and appropriate a term.
