Jericho, Washington

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

A 1960s aerial is good enough to show the catenary poles, but there are no buildings, and topos going almost back to the construction of the line show no more than one, presumably the station. Probably the passing siding was the main reason for the spot, as the area is extremely barren. No sign of a town. Mangoe (talk) 05:15, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - GNIS spam. Notably GNIS describes it as populated but the article describes it as "extinct", which appears to be the SOP of editors mass-creating stubs based on GNIS listings where they could find no evidence that there was an actual community where GNIS appeared to say there was one, and is the reason why we have so many "ghost town" articles about places that never really existed.

 * Delete - More GNIS spam, no evidence that a town ever materialized despite the ambitions of railroad officials. –dlthewave ☎ 02:54, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
