Mule Creek Junction, Wyoming

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unpopulated named intersection area does not have significant coverage to meet WP:GEOLAND or WP:GNG. The article is mostly a general overview of regional history and roads in the area, very little of which is specific to Mule Creek Junction. –dlthewave ☎ 15:50, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. This intersection is much better documented than both. It has historical markers: "Several historical and scenic markers at the rest area describe the setting." I added references to an innovative toilet system at the rest stop and to a former diner at this location. I think notability has now been demonstrated.

 * Historical markers are common at rest areas, but they're often more about the general area than the specific location. Do we know what the ones here cover? –dlthewave ☎ 18:48, 26 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete I cannot see how this area meets WP:GEOLAND. My searches have not turned up anything. Lightburst (talk) 16:44, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * delete In point of fact one can look at the various markers through the wonders of Google's picture collectors. One is a standard Blue Star Memorial Highway marker, and the others are the sorts of regional interest stuff one often finds at a rest stop. None of them says anything about a settlement here. It's just a crossroads. Mangoe (talk) 04:51, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. This used to be an inhabited location, and there are 159 newspaper results from Wyoming about it from 1929 onwards. In 1956 it is referred to as "a small community in Niobrara County". In 1964, it was a "little community of 30 people". There's also a mention in 1985. An anti-rustling task force was organized there in 1997, and in 1999 it was referred to as a hamlet which had a store, restaurant and bar (which burned down that same year). jp×g 23:58, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Appears to have been a formerly inhabited place that was destroyed by a fire in 1999. Added some sources to show it meets GNG and GEOLAND. Is notable if nothing else for its rest stop. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 21:49, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
