Hamlet, Missouri

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

State historical society suggests it was likely just a store, and refers to it as "a small trading point", whatever that means. Not on the relevant 1886 topo. Not seeing it on the 1939 topo either (it's gonna be embarassing if I'm just overlooking it). Also not on the 1954 large-scale topo. Not on the 2017 topo. Google maps brings up farmland. No evidence this was any more than a country store, and the fact that it isn't appearing on topos is telling. The GNIS entry is sourced to the state historical society papers, which the online version doesn't explicitly state this was a town, referring only to a store at the site. Apparently was formerly known as Sexson, but it's not appearing on the topos under that name, either. Hog Farm Bacon 21:41, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Not to be per nom. The slings and arrows of outrageous Wikipedial demands for verifiability raineth down and find it wanting. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:07, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Out damned spot (I know, wrong play) "I can call unicorporated communities from the vasty deep of GNIS!" "Aye, you can and so can any WP editor, but will they be verified when you call them?" (still the wrong play) Mangoe (talk) 14:17, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment. It seems, sadly, that this article is merely words, words, words. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 00:41, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
