Minden, Wisconsin

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This place doesn't seem to actually exist. It doesn't show up in any newspaper archive or the Wisconsin Historical Society. It's not even in the state list of post offices in 1887, which is the year listed for the one single source. ~ ฅ(ↀωↀ&#61;) neko-channyan 21:00, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete Can't find any mentions of a WI place in newspapers.com. Is not even listed in GNIS, which returns only the PO, and one year of existence is not notability. Reywas92Talk 22:12, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete Yeah, this is weird. When you look it up, the only blur is this article, and any other links are just "Hey!  We have no idea what you're talking about, but you can look up this place on our website!  Where is this info coming from?   Le Panini   (Talk tome?)  01:49, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - GNIS has no coordinates, states that it "reportedly operated in 1887", and lists the source as "miscellaneous". Can't find anything about this in Google Books or newspapers.com or on the topos.  This is vying with the time GNIS called a pond a populated place for the single worst GNIS-based article I've ever seen. Hog Farm Bacon 02:08, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Even the GNIS doesn't claim this was a populated place; it's just a place that had a post office for a single year (according to the source that lists it in the first place), back in a time where rural post offices that weren't affiliated with a community were a lot more common. This is barely verifiable, much less notable. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 17:01, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable, very few sources exist for this place. This more trivia, than encyclopedic. JackFromReedsburg (talk) 15:34, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
