Pinging Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Four Presidents Corners, Indiana participants as FYI: @Mangoe, Danre98, TartarTorte, Reywas92, Dlthewave, and NMasiha czar 06:01, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the ping. This iteration of the article should be deleted because none of the additional sources demonstrate notability of the monument or the existence of a populated place at Four Presidents Corners. None of the library pictures give significant coverage (and are primary). The Fort Wayne newspaper article is a perfunctory announcement with too little coverage. Finally, the Ronald Baker book states the the 'village' dates from Sept. 22, 1917, which shows to me that the book mistook the erection of the monument with the creation of a village since that date is very close to the day of the monument creation. Finally, the Allen townships map only shows where the quadripoint is on a map of Allen County; it merely shows that a quadripoint exists between four counties named after presidents with no other coverage. —Danre98^{(talk^contribs)} 18:18, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Djflem, why did you recreate the article?

To prior participants, I'd suggest that this article goes back to AfD if needed to discuss the merits of the additional sources added. czar 18:34, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Allen County[edit]

I arrived here via Four corners (Canada), which is a slightly bigger deal (but still fairly minor all the same).

There's no doubt in my mind that this article does not warrant its own page, and belongs as a subtopic at Allen County, Indiana, where as much or as little of this content can remain intact as appropriate.

I would keep Four Presidents Corners as a bold head in the combined lead, but that's my own style (along with a permanent redirect).

When I googled this because I wondered in the pin was correctly illustrated, I could barely find anything substantial. And then slowly it dawned on me that this isn't even at the level of counties, much less states or provinces or territories.

It's basically just a podunk geographical naming oddity with a stone on top. — MaxEnt 00:03, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
