Cornwall, Missouri

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

All indications are that this is/was a non-notable railroad station, not a community. GNIS gives it a census code of U6, which by definition is a populated place without legal recognition as a community, which does not pass WP:GEOLAND. A 1952 book of Missouri place names by Ramsay, which is considered to be one of the better books on the subject for Missouri, calls it a railroad station. State historical society calls it a railroad station. Old book calls it a station. 1910 topo shows not a whole lot there, and it at a point along the railroad. By 1959, there's about six buildings there. A little more there by 2000, but the development is a ways from the site, and seems to be associated with the railroad. Apparently copper deposits there, but since the Cornwall Copper Mine was a thing, that may not actually be about this "populated place". With the census code saying this is not legally recognized as a community, several sources calling this just a railroad station, and nothing refer to this as an actual community, I'd say this likely fails WP:GEOLAND, the WP:GNG failure is a bit clearer.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Someone was born here, indicating it was a community. There were a few stores and a sawmill. There may even have been a hospital. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 13:47, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
