Comment: Article still doesn't have sufficient coverage to demonstrate that it's a notable topic in my view. I'd suggest taking a look at articles for other towns nearby to see what sort of material they cover as a reference. Turnagra (talk) 08:57, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: The sources cited are insufficient for establishing notability per WP:GNG, and there is no indication that this would be notable under WP:GEOLAND. DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:19, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
