 * Withdrawn by nominator - As the article is proposed to be improved as an unincorporated community and not a railroad junction.Superman7515 (talk) 23:06, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. According to the USGS, Landenberg Junction is a U6 unincorporated community. Such places have been considered notable by editor consensus in the past. I have contacted the author before about citing sources. • Gene93k (talk) 23:11, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment This article makes no claim to this being a community, but a "small railroad junction". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Superman7515 (talk • contribs) 23:54, 27 August 2013‎ (UTC)
 * That was an issue for editing as Dough4872 has demonstrated by fixing the article. • Gene93k (talk) 01:17, 28 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - Unincorporated communities, regardless of size, are notable enough for articles.  Dough 48  72  00:13, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep The GNIS is a reliable source, and it states that Landenburg Junction is a populated place; in addition, according to the GNIS entry, the U.S. Census Bureau recognizes that Landenburg Junction is an unincorporated community. This book also discusses the community's railroad junction. As Wikipedia is a gazetteer per the five pillars, there is a long-standing precedent that all populated places are worthy of inclusion.
