This article is a promotion for a pending sale of land. There are no sources showing this is notable. Many of the claims presented are unsupported by any references, and the one link provided is misleading. -- N D Steve 10 ( talk ) 18:38, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Reference 1 is solid. Reference 2 can be downloaded from the Nevada Bureau of Mines &  Geology website.  The article alludes to three other references.  The potential for mining at this site would have significant effect on railroads and ports of Nevada and California.  This is notable. Cullen328 (talk) 19:55, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree that this article mentions some potential for this area, but its tone and purpose seems to be to trumpet the "potential" of this area that is up for sale. As of now, no references provided seem to indicate this area is notable now. Reference 1 is a local newspaper recognizing the sales pitch. Also, I may be missing something, but the data available on the NBMG website referenced within merely categorizes the area of having many potentially valuable deposits, without mentioning "iron" or an "iron district" as particularly significant.

 * Keep - the location itself is a sizeable place obviously of some economic importance (certainly compared to a small hamlet), and "Buena Vista Iron Ore District" is what that place seems to be called/is legally organized as. So I'm minded to keep. TheGrappler (talk) 00:30, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
