Shamrock, Colorado

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

I am having no luck finding anything out about this place. There clearly was a Shamrock School, which building still stands though it is apparently unused. (Certainly an active school would not be surrounded by farm equipment, as appears on GMaps.) There is a Shamrock Ranch whose southeastern corner lies at the intersection labelled as "Shamrock". Searching is clotted with false hits, but nothing illuminating comes up. Mangoe (talk) 00:00, 15 October 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete. Non-notable location.  Does not meet WP:GNG nor WP:GEOLAND.  Searching newspaperarchive for Shamrock in Colorado finds a few mentions in the Greeley papers of people from Shamrock.   indicates that there was a Shamrock school in Adams county.  Searching historical topos finds nothing at that location, though the 1:24k topo is named Shamrock (topo names do not make a location legally recognized).  I agree that GMaps indicates two possible residences and two other buildings.  GBooks finds not much,  indicates that the sheriff refers to as an unincorporated area.  This is not a legally recognized locale, so WP:GEOLAND #1 is not met.  I found no "non-trivial coverage by their name in multiple, independent reliable sources", so WP:GEOLAND #2 is not met.  This is a crossroads that once had a school.  "Nothing to see here folks, move along..." Cxbrx (talk) 14:52, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
