community name and a directional term (i.e., north, south, east, or west). Since a CDP is defined to provide data for a single, named locality, the Census Bureau generally will not accept combinations of places and hyphenated place names defined as a CDP. In the past, communities were often combined as a single CDP in order to comply with the Census Bureau's former minimum population requirements. The Census Bureau's elimination of population threshold criteria starting with Census 2000 made such combinations unnecessary. Other communities were combined because visible features were not available for use as boundaries for separate CDPs. The Census Bureau's policy to allow the use of some nonvisible boundaries so that participants can separate individual communities has dispensed with the need to have multi-place CDPs.

establish the attributes listed under #1? If so, it doesn't say that. It looks like what is causing the problem is that #2 is usable and used separately. Since it removes the "in-depth" requirement of wp:GNG, I think that the problem is that just getting lots of mentions is considered to be sufficient. I don't know what the big fix would be....it depends on the intent of the phrase. But I plan to do a little fix which is to add "in depth" (standard GNG wording) to the coverage requirement wording. With a RFC and ANI open on this this might be a bad time to do this or maybe a good time in order to help resolve it.

but if it's a small number of homes and lacks anything unifying other than a name then it probably does not. It's hard to have all-encompassing guidelines for globally inconsistent settlement patterns and legal terminology – not to mention development before and after car ownership arose, but people merely being from a place with a name doesn't make it notable. So many of these cases are just neighborhoods – which would be neither legally recognized nor considered a stand-alone village even if the name is used as a residence or place marker – and therefore require some coverage of greater depth.
2399:
also individual objects and buildings inside those settlements like that one-story building that went up in the 1990s with the Starbucks inside. Since NGEO includes none of the qualifying that other guidelines do (again, intended mainly for subjects in a very small class of inherent notability), we only have the one line to go by. It requires "in-depth" coverage, but nothing else, so as long as the local small town paper covered that building going up or getting demolished, we're basically good. I'd rather see buildings just removed from this guideline, since it inadequately covers them. —

where most places that are obviously towns are nonetheless not incorporated and tend to be represented as CDPs. For instance, as you drive out Georgia Ave. from DC, you start out in Silver Spring and pass through Wheaton and then Glenmont, all of which the post office claims as Silver Spring, but which everyone else recognizes as three distinct towns/cities, even though there are no definite boundaries between them. Between Silver Spring and Wheaton is Forest Glen, which lacks the obvious commercial/urban concentration that marks the others. Is it a distinct place? Well, good question.

map once had a typeface claiming they did, and we digitised it" issue. In a non-US location, "legally recognised" clearly means cities, towns, hamlets, and does not mean neighbourhoods, subdevelopments, commercial regions, so for the US we need to use common sense to determine whether these stubs are considered or were once considered hamlets per GEOLAND #1 or if they're subdivisions per GEOLAND #2. There's no hard and fast rule here - we need to look to the spirit of GEOLAND, which is to be very inclusive about the geographic features we can include in the encyclopaedia.
2218:"Unincorporated community" is a euphemism we should be abjuring, but be that as it may, saying that they are, as a class, legally recognized is just flatly untrue. The presenting issue at the moment in the GNIS cleanup is that, considering the number of errors, hardly any of these places had some obvious "legal recognition". There's no rigid standard which definitively divides the notable from the non-notable among settlements in the USA, because the legal structures just aren't there, and to the degree they are, they vary wildly from place to place. 187:
outside cities and towns, are both large and dense enough that the census and state statistical authorities found worth counting the population of as a unit. At the end of the day though, they have some sort of defined borders, and we seem to already have comprehensive coverage of every CDP in the US. Therefore, regardless of the poor drafting of this guideline and "legally recognized", I would recommend not deleting CDPs and instead focusing on unincorporated communities without any such data available.
1944:
disregarded by outsiders, and that matters would then be fought out here anyway. The longer reality is that GEOLAND's not-much-of-a-standard has led to several cleanup projects because "officially recognized" has been interpreted to mean that anything that looks like a governmental (or even quasi-governmental) source is absolutely authoritative, resulting in swathes of spurious villages and towns which, upon closer examination, don't actually exist and never did.
666:: "Generally, a CDP shall not be defined within the boundaries of what the Census Bureau regards to be an incorporated city, village or borough. However, the Census Bureau considers some towns in New England states, New Jersey and New York as well as townships in some other states as MCDs, even though they are incorporated municipalities in those states. In such states, CDPs may be defined within such towns or spanning the boundaries of multiple towns." 31: 2277:
homes near each other would be neighbors who form a community (as we may see in this AFD), as would homes that are more spread out but are on the same road or all in a broad vicinity (some of the mass-productions in KY and WV come to mind). And then there are subdivisions/housing developments that are nothing more than homes but aren't immediately part of an incorporated place or larger community. The issue is that
1190:"Place or area with clustered or scattered buildings and a permanent human population (city, settlement, town, village). A populated place is usually not incorporated and by definition has no legal boundaries. However, a populated place may have a corresponding "civil" record, the legal boundaries of which may or may not coincide with the perceived populated place. Distinct from Census and Civil classes." 2281:, which says "Cities and villages anywhere in the world are generally kept" has been treated as a de facto guideline. But depending on the country/state a village is a vague term too. If they are kept "regardless of size" then what's to stop ten people in three homes from saying "we're a village, we're automatically notable"? Because that's what has absolutely been seen in many of these GNIS places. 1967:
as a landmark by a government agency, i.e. "the county announced that they will repave Road #30 from Chicken Corner to Pig Crossing, therefore Pig Crossing is a legally-recognized place." We should also put more emphasis on the Sources section since it already specifically excludes the sorts of passing mentions and table/database listings that lead to these poorly-sourced stubs. –

don't think that this would be a pursuit likely to end up with a change. The SNG on this is pretty widely accepted. Some experienced folks say that it is because it's been accepted that wikipedia is also a gazetteer. My own personal observation is that this "finger on the scale" is widely accepted because inhabited officially recognized places are very encyclopedic
2379:"Significant" can easily be interpreted to include lots of simple mentions. "In detail" would also cover that but is not in the subject sentence in the SNG. Regarding "in-depth" being in the GNG, I dunno. The core wording does acknowledge depth of coverage as a relevant metric. Then in the SNG section of GNG, where GNG paraphrases itself it says "in-depth". Sincerely, 760:
location, there need to be sources that discuss it in-depth, which happens by defaulting to GNG. Keeping articles that rely only on a few administrative statistics results in perma-stubs. As expressed in GEOLAND#2, such places should be discussed in an article on the higher-level place. To facilitate searching, there should always be a redirect to that article.

station was also the post office, or where a farmhouse was a post office. All of these places needed town names (because that's the way addresses worked), which was easy enough for a place on the railroad (they all had names due to dispatching), but not so much for a farmhouse. But there has been a push to declare these all settlements.

A CDP constitutes a single, closely settled center of population that is named. To the extent possible, individual unincorporated communities should be identified as separate CDPs. Similarly, a single community should be defined as a single CDP rather than multiple CDPs with each part referencing the

If a census designated place corresponds to an actual historical place, there's a good chance it's notable, but relying on the CDP designation by itself is a bit iffy. Basically, the census is the lowest possible bar for "legally recognized" and thus is a weak justification for keeping an article. If

The zip code/post office situation we addressed, inconclusively, a short while ago.

When I look at Google Maps or topo maps, my thoughts have always been that if there's a focal point of the community which has perhaps a church, general store, or school bearing the name, or something else that is evident that this is a distinct population center as an entity, it might pass the bar,

Based on my experience with United States placenames, editors interpret this guideline in many different ways and it would be particularly helpful to clarify the definition of "legally recognized place".

Unincorporated communities (with respect to the US here) are already excluded from Geoland#1: they are not, except for CDPs, legally recognized. The issue is that "community" is an incredibly vague term: a neighborhood and a subdivision are communities, but those can likewise be vague terms. A few

As a rule the issue is whether the CDP represents a place in its own right or should be subsumed in a larger area. This is not terribly cut-and-dried in the areas where this is even a question. For example, I live in suburban Montgomery Co., Md., where there are some incorporated cities/towns, but

If company towns are notable (and IMO they are), I don't see any reason why plantations shouldn't be. They are places where large groupings of people lived - the fact that those people were slaves doesn't change things. However, I'm still inclined against one-line permastubs. I expect enough

In these cases, I encourage consolidating information into a single main article and avoid having several pages either having little information of their own or only historical population data. Also I see info on some pages about ZIP codes and post offices: this gets into 706:. These are all CDPs but they are also incorporated municipalities (towns or cities) with governments. If you click on the links (to Census QuickFacts), you'll see one column for the town, one column for the CDP, but the numbers are the same.
