Sherman Corner, Minnesota

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This one appears to be a road junction with a few buildings, no sign of a distinct community. Newspapers.com returned a few results mentioning people who lived near here, but no significant coverage. –dlthewave ☎ 14:44, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:GEOLAND#2. Lightburst (talk) 15:35, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep According to the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Sherman Corner is a distinct community with a population of 20. It's a road junction, sure, but that doesn't mean it isn't also a small community with a recorded population. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 01:02, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Per WP:NGEO, maps and tables are specifically excluded from establishing notability. I'm not sure that simply having a recorded population is sufficient. –dlthewave ☎ 16:23, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep per TheCatalyst31 comment-thank you-RFD (talk) 10:53, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep per Catalyst, passes geo notability guidelines.  Willsome 4 29  (say hey or see my edits!) 15:59, 5 April 2020 (UTC) Passes geo notability guidelines by both being legally recognized (by the DOT) and having a recorded population.

 * Comment, not really relevant to this but is Sherman Station the same as Sherman, Minnesota (this book on Minnesota ghost towns lists it)? no WP article or do we need a redirect? oh, btw this is a keep as meeting WP:NGEO for reasons given above. Coolabahapple (talk) 02:11, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Unclear where these 20 people even live: GMaps only has a single home within the circle marked on the DOT map! A few scattered residences near a named intersection is not "distinct" nor makes a notable community unless there is WP:SIGCOV of it. A transportation map is not "legal recognition", unclear how that bears the weight of law. Reywas92Talk 01:46, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
