The result was delete. WP:SNOW. If this place does exist, which seems doubtful, the article requires the WP:TNT. The Bushranger _{One ping only} 02:24, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This place apparently does not exist. No references could be found, and the author's history of edits on this article does not show evidence of good faith. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 22:48, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum to listing comment: This page was previously nominated for proposed deletion and later for speedy deletion. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 23:00, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. No evidence given by author of article that Jacksonville, Wyoming exists. Z554 (talk) 23:20, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Probable delete Can't find it on Google Maps or census.gov and web search doesn't give any indication it exists (just a lot of computer-generated directories etc.) --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:19, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I can find no evidence for a Jacksonville Wyoming. The information in the article is so sparse as to provide absolutely no clue as to where in the state this might be so as a sub-stub, even if this placed did exist, would provide no value to a reader. -- Whpq (talk) 14:02, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as unverifiable. If it exists, it's only a locally known name. No trace of this settlement found, not even in GNIS. • Gene93k (talk) 16:28, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - It needs to at least be real for WP to have an article about it. So far can't find any evidence it exists.--Oakshade (talk) 18:18, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. GBooks has one listing (repeated in several different books) of a 1907 bird sighting on "Mt. Lida, Jacksonville, Wyoming".[1] Also a mention in a 1936 religious book of a letter from "Jacksonville, Wyoming".[2] But I can find no verification of where this place might be, nor any information about "Mount Lida", wherever that may be. It's possible that the "Jacksonville" in these mentions refers to Jackson, Wyoming or some other place within Jackson Hole, but that's just a guess. --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:45, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Except that in one of the author's edits, he wrote that Jacksonville was "smack dab" in the middle of Wyoming. Jackson is in far western Wyoming. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 20:49, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
