Hooper, Kentucky

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I don't think this one meets WP:GEOLAND. Not in Rennick's Shelby County directory, and his index calls it a locale (geography) without describing it. Topos show a railroad point with a single building. Newspapers.com is difficult to search due to the commonness of "Hooper" as a name, but I am finding a number of hits to a Hooper's Station in Shelby county, which seems to have just been a railroad station with no community. Google Books confirms that it was a railroad point with no post office, but that's about it. WP:STATION is only an essay, but has some advice on this subject. I don't think this is a notable place.

 * Delete Contrary to the assertions of, ungoverned cities are notable, but there's no evidence that this comes even close to being one. Granted, the standard is lower than that, but it still fails to meet it as others have explained. Smartyllama (talk) 20:50, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
