 * Keep Meets WP:GEOLAND as an unincorporated inhabited community. See: Jermantown, Virginia, Kernstown, Virginia, and Lick Skillet, Virginia for comparable communities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ClaudeDavid (talk • contribs)
 * Unlike Lick Skillet, this locality is within a city's limits. Unlike Jermantown and Kernstown, it has no independent history of its own before getting swallowed up by sprawl from a larger community. It's just a modern subdivision with no history of its own. Maybe it was outside the Atwater city limits at some point, but that's no longer the case even if so, and that alone wouldn't be sufficient for it to have independent notability.

 * Delete, and possibly redirect to Atwater, California. It's not unincorporated; the article was one of thousands mass generated by scraping locality names and coordinates from the GNIS database, and all articles generated from this data described their subjects as "unincorporated communities" regardless of whether they actually were. Looking at the city zoning map of Atwater, California, we can see that it's not a standalone community, but a subdivision in Atwater, inside the city limits. I found no significant coverage and no mentions at all other than run-of-the-mill coverage in old city plans, court records, etc. CJK09 (talk) 19:14, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete/redirect Housing developments/subdivisions are rarely notable regardless of whether they receive services from a city or the county, and this is no exception. Above examples appear to be historically stand-alone places that have been surrounded by sprawl, not housing developments. Reywas92Talk 19:59, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
