Flory, Missouri

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The State Historical Society describes Flory as Flory, a small trading-point in the extreme western side of Dade County, was named by C.E. Elliff, owner of the store, for Jo Flory who was a republican candidate for Governor of Missouri in 1900. The use of "the store" seems to imply this was just a store. The GNIS entry is sourced to that exact statement, and claims it's on the Jerico Springs topos, but it's not. Neither Google maps nor the national geographic map database know where Flory is. The coverage I'm turning up is almost entirely in the string "Miss Josephine Flory, Missouri University." I'm not seeing any way this meets WP:GEOLAND or WP:GNG here.

 * Keep valid stub about a rural trading point. If not kept, merge with township in which Flory is located.72.49.7.25 (talk) 03:50, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I could find no results for this supposed community in newspapers.com. Not a valid stub: trading posts are not notable unless there's substantive coverage on them. Hardly necessary to say in the township article "people have bought and sold goods in various places throughout history in this jurisdiction!" Reywas92Talk 03:56, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
