Hardluck, Nevada

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Hardluck is not mentioned in the GNIS, though there is a in  Mineral County, associated with Camp Douglas. This page is for a location purported to be in Esmeralda County (Note that Mineral County was carved out of Esmeralda County in 1911). A newspaper article states that Hard Luck Mine Castle is 35 miles south of Goldfield, which is definitely not the location of the Hardluck Mine mentioned in the GNIS. There also is a in  Lander County. Hardluck is not mentioned in "Nevada Place Names." Searching Google Books for "Hardluck Nevada" finds references to the Mineral County location near Camp Douglas. Searching Google Books for "Hardluck Esmeralda" does not help, in part because Mineral County was carved out of Esmeralda County. Hardluck is not mentioned in "Nevada Post Offices" by Gammett & Paher. If this page is not deleted, then perhaps it would probably be best to consider moving this page to Hard Luck Mine Castle and consider the notability of that location.

Move to Hard Luck Mine if the mine itself is notable, otherwise Delete as I'm not seeing (through Google Maps satellite view) any sort of town in the vicinity. Americanfreedom (talk)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * I would guess this is it (also this) --Andreas Philopater (talk) 00:40, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Populated places in general merit separate articles. But even then verifiability is an absolute requirement. Currently, this is an unsourced article, and there is not much to go on in order to identify what would source it. Certainly willing to change my mind if these problems are addressed.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ifnord (talk) 21:22, 28 May 2020 (UTC) Delete per nom. --Cornellier (talk) 12:08, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per my nomination. What is up for discussion here is whether this page meets WP:GEOLAND and should remain and if it does not then whether the page should be deleted, moved or merged.  I feel it should be deleted.  There is no evidence that there was a notable settlement of any type at this location.  There are no citations for there being a post office.  The GNIS does not have an entry.  As far as moving, the Hard Luck Mine is not notable, I could find no WP:RS for '"Hard Luck Mine" -Castle' that indicate notability.   The Hard Luck Mine Castle is a building that has a bunch of web hits.  The possible WP:RS hits are Atlas Obscura, Las Vegas Review Journal and Pahrump Valley Times.  If someone wants to make a case for moving this page to Hard Luck Mine Castle, then go for it, but to me, this looks like a vanity page for a building.  Cxbrx (talk) 22:13, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
