Iveyville, Iowa

 * – ( View AfD View log )

While I did find one reference to some commercial activity here, and there are what seem to be the usual Iowan pigs and cattle raisers, evidence is that this was nothing more than a post office, not a notable settlement. Mangoe (talk) 21:00, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Polk's 1918 Iowa State Gazetteer confirms this as a post office in Jasper Township, Adams County, Iowa, which it does not mark as "discontinued" as it does others. Once again, it seems to be an almost completely undocumented post office, not an "unincorporated community". Uncle G (talk) 03:49, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Here is one instance of significant coverage. This (which appears to possible be associated with two adverts for stores in Iveyville on the same page) also discusses the community. This discusses the fate of Iveyville - people no longer went there for the P.O., so the stores didn't get as much business, and the last of the commercial buildings was gone by the 1920s. I can find a pretty good quantity of local news from Iveyville, but it's all trivial, such as reports on the weather, or illnesses, or the old town hall being sold in 1954. I couldn't find a whole lot, but there are multiple in-depth sources discussing this place, and it was more than just a P.O. Hog Farm Talk 04:34, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. It's been pretty easy to flesh this article out, using HogFarm's clipping and other sources. Iveyville has been discussed by Rand McNally, by the Iowa General Assembly, by the USGS, and by area newspapers. Firsfron of Ronchester  07:56, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
