Abacoa, Florida

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Another article with the vast majority of content by a user who has created numerous articles on mostly non-existent pages, many, including this one, with USGS links to other places claiming to be links to this place. He didn't create this one, unlike the others, but he's the main contributor. Smartyllama (talk) 17:11, 29 June 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * It appears to be a neighborhood or development in Jupiter, Florida. It had a USGS reference, which was false and I removed it. A GNIS search for "Abacoa" shows a Golf Course so named, but nothing by way of a populated place. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:30, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep The article predates the user who introduced the bad USGS links, and it appears to be a major neighborhood of Jupiter; see here, for instance. At the least it should probably be merged to the Jupiter article. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 12:42, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - Clearly not a hoax, based upon THIS, and thus an automatically notable populated place unless the case is made that this is an isolated, artificially contrived neighborhood and thus unworthy of coverage. That is not the case being made here. Consider my Keep opinion being provisional upon resolution of that issue. Carrite (talk) 17:07, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep as a populated place. VMS Mosaic (talk) 02:22, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. This town meets WP:NPLACE. "Cities and villages anywhere in the world are generally kept, regardless of size or length of existence, as long as that existence can be verified through a reliable source". This and a few other reliable sources already cited in the article confirm that this place actually exists in Florida and isn't a hoax.  Omni Flames ( talk ) 23:49, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
