An article about a single gas station in Piggott, Arkansas, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which was torn down "sometime after 2013". It seems like a good addition to the article on the town, but I don't think it merits its own article.

Incidentally, even if the article is kept, "Esso Station" isn't a good title. There's a lot of Esso stations out there.

Keep In general, things listed on the NRHP are considered notable by default and there exists at some coverage of it outside of just the NRHP filing. See Arkansas listings in the National Register of Historic Places, Latimer, Franklin Allen, Arkansas Historical Quarterly, Summ 2002, Vol. 61, Issue 2. It has several sentences of historical details and a pull photo of it, in particular Although not large in size, the Esso Station in Piggott is notable for its Colonial Revival style of architecture and its excellent state of preservation.. And being torn down doesn't really change anything since notability is WP:NOTTEMPORARY. For the name, there's no other full article with that base name. But changing this to a disambiguation page with links to this and other Esso stations that are under other names may make sense once this AFD is resolved (either boldly or through a WP:REQUESTEDMOVE.)

Keep agree with Skynxnex, a future merge may work, but the article on the town is a bit of a hodgepodge and needs some organizatio, so I think for the moment a merge would not improve the state of the encyclopedia for readers seeking knowledge. —siro χ o 22:39, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep with title change. Agree with Ormewood that the title is useless, but Skynxnex is right about NRHP subjects. Last1in (talk) 20:29, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
