Whitman, Washington

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

Railroad siding: check; grain elevator: check; nothing else in the vicinity in old topos and aerials: check. The station (for that is all it appears to have been) is a short ways west of the Whitman Mission National Historic Site, but other than the obvious honor of the naming there doesn't appear to be any connection between the two in terms of a settlement.

 * Comment to closer If this page is deleted, I encourage the creation of a redirect to Whitman County, Washington, even though Whitman, Washington is in Walla Walla County. --Enos733 (talk) 16:28, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete/Redirect - Origin of Washington geographic names confirms that the railway station was named after the nearby Whitman Mission and not vice versa. It has every appearance of being just another grain elevator/loading point that was established when the railroad was built; if there was a community, it's long gone and lacks SIGCOV. I agree with the suggestion to redirect to Whitman County, and procedurally it might be best to delete and then recreate as a redirect since it would be an entirely different topic. –dlthewave ☎ 18:12, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
