Garwood, Idaho

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I have no idea where these ranch houses were supposed to have been, given that this is actually another rail location sandwiched between two roads from early on. The topos don't show any trackage detail, but presently it's the south end of a long passing siding surrounded by industry; older aerials show a mostly forested area to the east. Other than that I cannot find any info about the spot. Mangoe (talk) 21:07, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep. This community has an elementary school and details of its population have been recorded in serious reference works (such as Cram's Atlas). There are a number of news articles (such as this one) that can be used to flesh out this article. Firsfron of Ronchester  00:06, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The school is well over a mile west of the old Garwood location, and it was only built in 1991; the surrounding area is generic Coeur d'Alene outer suburb, and was all farmland in a 1954 aerial view, so there is no connection other than reuse of the name. The population reference is better but I'd prefer to be able to check it against the official census. The short bit in Lumber World Review does nothing more than confirm Garwood as a rail spot, but it says nothing about what it was. I don't see how these are enough to confirm a settlement here, much less give it a history. Mangoe (talk) 23:38, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * There are many schools which are more than a mile outside of the center of the communities which they serve. The population reference lists populations for "cities and towns": in other words, settlements. Firsfron of Ronchester  19:29, 30 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep. Per Firsfron. The article is a stub but has information about population and school, all referenced. ✍A.WagnerC (talk) 13:45, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
