Vista, Washington

Another case where actually reading the sources would have given a different article. Once again, the Washington Place Names database calls this a "railroad station", and yes, going back through the topos and aerials shows an isolated siding and a grain elevator, which still stands in the middle of the urban sprawl that has surrounded it. It's been closed for something two decades, and is now bedecked with cell phone antennae. It's not even clear that anyone considers this a neighborhood in the city.

 * Delete - Just another railroad station, no sign of a settlement that would be legally recognized or meet GNG per WP:GEOLAND. The bit about the artesian well is a red flag: If this was a town, surely there would be mention of the water going to homes instead of just farmers and locomotives. –dlthewave ☎ 04:52, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Kennewick, Washington since there is some history there. Not enough for its own article though. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 00:02, 29 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Redirect I agree with others. It should point to Kennewick, Washington. Super (talk) 13:22, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
