Chitwood, Missouri

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This one is a weird case. The Chitwood in Reynolds County was A railroad stop on the Missouri Southern in the southwestern part of Logan Township, named for Uncle Baty Chitwood, a prominent man in the county, according to the non-GNIS source. I can find nothing significant about the Reynolds County Chitwood.

However, there is also a Chitwood in Jasper County on the other side of the state, for which I can find some mining references and a description of Chitwood, a little business center in the mines lately added to Joplin, was named for the family who owned the store..

So our current article is presenting a non-notable railroad site as an unincorporated community. My inclination is to WP:TNT this, and if someone wants to write about the Jasper County Chitwood later, that may be an option, although it doesn't seem to be particularly notable, either.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete It's not the article that's a "weird case", rather what's weird is why the mass-creation king who made this decided to write content that is inconsistent with its source. The GNIS cites the same Ramsay list of source 2 (so we've got a case of circular referencing), not USGS topo maps, which don't indicate a community. Reywas92Talk 21:10, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * It's not really circular, as there isn't a loop. But it is duplication.  I suspect that there are a lot of Ramsay Place-Name Card Collection entries yet to come.  Uncle G (talk) 23:48, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I found the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad instead, but otherwise much as Hog Farm. Uncle G (talk) 23:48, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
 * The MKT is gonna be for the Chitwood over by Joplin, as the Katy was on the west side of the state. Hog Farm Talk 00:07, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
