Strouds, Wyoming

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A siding on the abandoned Milwaukee Road line on the eastern outskirts of Evansville. I find no evidence that there was ever a separate settlement, especially considering Brookhurst just to the north, which is a proper CDP. Mangoe (talk) 20:03, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - I expanded the article, and found multiple sources indicating "Joshua Stroud" had lived there. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:03, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge We've seen this several times before, someone had a ranch, and the railroad named a stop there after the ranch. Here's a clipping about the Strouds, some of the first settler of Casper. This one talks directly about how the Strouds' ranch become Stroud's Station, and that it served as a roadhouse. Here's another mention of the ranch. Here's Joshua Stroud's water use. Links added  don't establish this is a distinct notable settlement or community, but perhaps the newspaper clippings (also, which give other useful details that a separate town wasn't built there) would be relevant to Casper,_Wyoming!

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 00:26, 30 March 2020 (UTC) further comment The problem I keep having here is that, for all the talk of laying out a town, there is absolutely no sign of anything being laid out, other than the station building. The area is massively industrialized now, and already was even in the 1940s. Maybe it has some sort of historic notability, but I'm just not seeing the claim to it being a settlement.

 * Delete It's clear that a Strouds family lived and operated a business/railroad stop here, but there's no sign that a town or community was ever established. In any case the available sourcing does not meet GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 19:55, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
