 * Keep - although it will likely never grow past a stub, it should not be completely deleted. EPIC STYLE (LET'S TALK) 02:28, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Unless I'm missing something, and assuming the Google co-ordinates are correct, this is just a bit of road in the desert, with nothing around it.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 09:37, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge with Randsburg, California, as they seem to be the same place. And notice how there 's plenty to say about it and so the nay-sayers above are refuted. Andrew🐉(talk) 14:58, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Given that the article itself says that they are over four miles from each other, I don't see how they are the same place. The only line of actual content in the Rand article is unsourced, and I doubt that it is true: there is or was an ATSF branch running directly into Johannesburg, right next to Randsburg.

 * Delete Clearly just another railroad station that fails to meet basic notability standards. Glendoremus (talk) 05:17, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
