Winterthur, Delaware

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Grand manor aficionados up and down the east coast recognize "Winterthur" as one of the duPonts' residences, turned into a museum with lavish gardens. Well, in spite of what the article says, this Winterthur isn't a community or anything else except the railroad station that still stands by the tracks next to one of the many back entrance roads to the estate. This video, which from what I can tell is from the museum's official channel, explains the function of the place. What it does not show, but every map and aerial does, is that this grand little structure sits in utter isolation on the east side of the estate, and always has. There is no community of Winterthur here, just the museum/estate. Mangoe (talk) 01:44, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment. I note that the Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library lists its address as being in Winterthur, Delaware. This may not be a proper town, but it seems to be a geographical location which should be a redirect to the museum if nothing else. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:02, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
 * The museum does indeed have its own post office; it's on the opposite side of the grounds by the main entrance. Mangoe (talk) 02:20, 10 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment. This public notice about wastewater seems to be recognition by the state of Delaware of Winterthur as a community name. Perhaps someone should create Winterthur, Delaware station. Most train stations can be shown to be notable. This reference may be useful. Wilmington and Northern Railroad (the company that operated the line served by the station) is a redirect to Reading Company, but could be replaced with a new article with the information found at WikiProject_Trains/ICC_valuations/Wilmington_and_Northern_Railroad Eastmain (talk • contribs) 02:22, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library. This explains that Winterthur is/was a large estate with its own post office and railroad station. I'm not finding evidence that the name ever referred to anything that wasn't part of the estate. –dlthewave ☎ 03:03, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library. Highly likley search term (not to mention the fact that an estate with full-time resident employees, post office, & rail station is indeed a community.) Djflem (talk) 04:38, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library, as this seems to be equivalent to the estate; I don't think its necessary to have two articles on essentially the same topic. Hog Farm Talk 23:31, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library per above. Jaysonsands (talk) 11:37, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * comment Redirection was one outcome I contemplated, and As there seems to be a consensus developing in that direction I'm willing to go along with it. Mangoe (talk) 00:17, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
