Bucksnort, Tennessee

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A PROD was reverted without improvement. This article, all original research, describes a town that does not exist. The I-40 exit sign is a curiosity, but the text that describes a "small unincorporated community" fails WP:V I have found no reliable references that describe this ghost town.

 * Nominator withdraws -- WP:SNOWBALL -- But make sure the references go in. Rhadow (talk) 02:00, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom: other editors might prove me wrong, but looking at the edit history, I'm not 100% convinced the page isn't a joke that got out of hand ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 14:21, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:GEOLAND as the place clearly exists, is sign-posted and people live there. Andrew D. (talk) 15:38, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NPLACE. As Andrew D states, the place exists, people live there, there are numerous business named Bucksnort this and bucksnort that. (, for instance). Notability is not temporary.Jacona (talk) 16:58, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:GEO. Past practice has been that no inhabited place ever gets deleted. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:05, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep clearly exists as an inhabited place, which is enough to pass WP:GEOLAND. Smartyllama (talk) 13:44, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep, in line with WP:GEO, snowie, snowie, snow snow:))Coolabahapple (talk) 06:49, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Seems to exist, is sign-posted and on Google Maps. AusLondonder (talk) 09:27, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment -- A look at the Google map shows four features, none particularly notable, that by this logic, should all have articles: Epison Hollow, Bucksnort Road, Duke Hollow, and Spence Hollow. Bucksnort is a great name, but doesn't need an article. There are still no reliable reference to establish notability. Rhadow (talk) 12:23, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment. The USGS says that Bucksnort is an unincorporated community. It's for real, and the place name has a brief book mention.. • Gene93k (talk) 13:29, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep We have demonstrated the place exists. That is all we need to show for such small places. I just wish our coverage of small places in Nigeria was half as good as it is for those in the US.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:49, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
 * plus places, big and small, from numerous other non-western countries....Coolabahapple (talk) 05:08, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
