Lindale, Missouri

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It's not an extinct town/populated place like GNIS claims, it was a building on the MKT railroad. See, which lists it under both Lindale and the former name of Marge. It was a telegraph office and terminal building on the railroad, both of which were apparently gone by the time of the oldest small-scale topo map I could find, which is 1961. Google maps suggests that currently, nothing is there. This book calls it a "point" on the railroad. Not mentioned in an old book about the naming of Missouri towns and counties. All indications are that this was a stop on the MKT, and not a populated place as suggested by GNIS. WP:GEOLAND does not give a free pass, as this was never a legally recognized place. We've got to go by WP:GNG, which this town never passed. Hog Farm Bacon 03:27, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete No evidence this was ever a community and no evidence that it meets basic notability standards. Glendoremus (talk) 04:14, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
 * delete I managed to do better in the topo department, finding two showing Lindale as a small yard complex with a turning wye, traces of which you can still see. A 1950s aerial photo shows the same, with no buildings around to speak of and certainly no town. No idea why the Katy had an isolated yard like this, but there it is.
