A subdivision which isn't there at all in pre-1960 topos and aerials. No claim for notability so after a de-PROD without explanation, here we are. Mangoe (talk) 11:12, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As per WP:GEOLAND, place is appears to be inhabited and although unincorporated is still officially recognised, it just needs to be expanded. N1TH Music (talk) 16:01, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:GNIS for an explanation of why AfD has not considered GNIS as official recognition for a long time now. Mangoe (talk) 18:02, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mangoe Good point, but I checked a couple maps and there appear to be buildings there. To pass GEOLAND a place must be both Legally Recognised and populated, all these discrepencies are covered by the fact that the place must also be populated. N1TH Music (talk) 14:36, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Before I removed the PROD, I looked and found quite a few articles about Green Meadows on newspapers.com, and maybe some others as well. I will come back and post some of them to demonstrate that it satisfies WP:GEOLAND, within a couple of days, unless someone else gets to it first. Jacona (talk) 16:37, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Here are some articles about cancer clusters in Green Meadows possibly caused by hazardous waste from Purdue University: [1],[2],[3]. More on that subject are available. Then here are some on the governance of the Green Meadows Utility governance (they had their own water and sewage, unlike most run-of-the-mill neighborhoods. [4],[5],[6],[7]. There are many more articles on that subject. There's a lot of other stuff including this, plenty more if you bother to look. [8] Meets WP:GEOLAND, meets WP:GNG.
