Mokradła, West Pomeranian Voivodeship

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

The location given in the article is an empty field. The listing on the Polish regulation for place-names is for a "settlement" (osada), which are not strictly required to be inhabited to receive this status. This is not a previously-inhabited locality that is now uninhabited as these are given a separate designation under Polish law ("miejscowość niezamieszkana").

Fails WP:GEOLAND as there is no clear evidence of inhabitation and good reason to believe it uninhabited, and as the status the place has is not that of an necessarily-inhabited place (i.e., it is not a village or town). Fails WP:GNG as there is no other sourcing.

As for ATDs, there is no reliably-sourced information here to merge about this location - it is simply a location. Redirection makes little sense as it would simply land the reader on a page with no information about Mokradła, since there is nothing to say about it.

 * wikt:zamieszkany is in the definition, so presumably it was formerly inhabited; the place name register says there are no buildings. "miejscowość niezamieszkana" seems to be a place with no permanent residents. Peter James (talk) 22:26, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Peter, many of these locations appear to be statistical artefacts. Particularly, it seems many/most Polish forestry offices and state farms, amongst other entities, were added as locations to the register, and remained on it even after being shut down or sold off.
 * At the very least given other errors (eg the non-existent Zielony Gaj) there is plentiful reason to doubt this place was ever anything notable. FOARP (talk) 06:52, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
 * https://zamkilubuskie.pl/mokradla-vw-brenkenhofsbrink/ mentions a German name for the place and says it was only a farm. Peter James (talk) 20:54, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. TERYT confirms it exists and is classified as a hamlet (osada). That may be enough to make it notable. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:12, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The link you just posted takes us to the search-page, not to any results. It obviously does not exist at present, since there is nothing at the location the article tells us it's at. A hamlet would be przysiółek. In English a "hamlet" requires more than just one building, and this corresponds also to the definition of a przysiółek which requires a cluster of farms (i.e., not just one or no buildings).

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * If the only source is a database a redirect to Gmina Świerzno probably makes more sense than a keep. Though is a case like this I don't feel strongly between delete and redirect.  Eluchil404 (talk) 00:17, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with the nominator that no evidence has been presented that this is, or has been, a settlement at any point. At most it may be, or have been, a patch of farmland, but are inclusionary stance on settlements does not extend to farms. Sjakkalle (Check!)  06:00, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
