Osmond, Newfoundland and Labrador

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

No sources and just a vague one-sentence description. Searching the Newfoundland and Labrador website brings up one mention of an Osmond Point. That is all. Google Maps shows a whole lot of nothing much. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:30, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep - There are indicators that this was--and may still be--a populated place:
 * Government-published listings for this place included and.
 * In this source, search for "Osmond" and there is text about how several Osmonds would spend summers living in cottages along Little Barachois lake. The cottages are visible on Google satellite view.
 * Osmond Point Cemetery is located here; this author writing "there was about 12 cabins. All of the cabins belong to 'Osmonds' so they call this area, 'Osmond Point'."
 * Many of the graves in the cemetery, such as Harriet Osmond, have "Osmond" listed as the place of death. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:31, 21 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep but expand Place clearly exists and may even still be populated. The length however cannot be justified, the article needs to be expanded to meed WP:GNF and WP:V N1TH Music (talk) 14:38, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * - What's "WP:GNF"? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 14:48, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Typo, I meant GNG N1TH Music (talk) 16:50, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * What does the article length have to do with GNC and V? I've tried to establish that this is a legally recognized populated place, but I don't think the article is going to be expanded much more, unless someone has a source with more detail about this place.  Would you change your ivote to "delete" if the article cannot be expanded? Magnolia677 (talk) 18:46, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * No, if the article cannot be improved, it doesn't mean it must be deleted, it's passable. But we should look for more sources. Also WP:GNG states that significant coverage is necessary. N1TH Music (talk) 19:05, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment - The settlement was also a stop on the Newfoundland Railway, see ]. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:20, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I have expanded the history section, and added the article to WP:CAN10K. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:08, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep - this unsourced one-liner of an article has since been expanded significantly with supporting sources. Nothing seen on Google Maps is not sufficient rationale to delete. The new History section clearly explains what it once was and why there is nothing much seen there nowadays. Hwy43 (talk) 06:59, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - the article is about a place that, based on the multiple references from independent sources now included, appears very much to be a real place. - David Stargell (talk) 02:29, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
