Talk:Mexico, Illinois

Needs an article?
Does this little community actually merit a separate article? —SlamDiego&#8592;T 05:51, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Consensus is that all verifiable places are inherently notable, and thus warrant an article. However, there are concerns that this is not an actual place, but rather a nickname for another community. I found this source, which mentions the governor of Illinois traveling to Mexico, Illinois, so it seems to be a real community. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  15:19, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * No, no. You misread "Governor George H. Ryan today announced that he will be traveling to Mexico, Illinois' second largest trading partner, and meeting with President Ernesto Zedillo and President-elect Vicente Fox." --John Nagle (talk) 15:32, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Whoops, that I did. Apologies, –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  15:47, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The original version of the article referred to a US Geological Survey entry, which in turn refers to
 * Hauser, Philip M. and Evelyn M. Kitigawa, editors; Local Community Fact Book for Chicago 1950. Chicago, Illinois : University of Chicago, 1953. p258
 * This seems, then, to be a genuine place. If consensus really supports the madness of an article on every verifiable place, then this article should stand. —SlamDiego&#8592;T 01:33, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed. However, while all verifiable places have been deemed inherently notable, borderline verifiability is usually dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Thus, it might be best to revert the redirecting of the article, and send it to AFD. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  01:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I hate to think how many AfDs could result from dealing with articles about this sort of place. —SlamDiego&#8592;T 07:32, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
