This is another problem case, starting from the impossibility of searching for a word that is apparently as common on web pages as "a" and "the". The material evidence is this: the hall is definitely there, and it definitely says "Leader" on it, and it appears in topos and aerials as far back as I can go. Until the 1950s, though, it's the only building at the corner. Meanwhile, the "Leader School" appears only in one aerial in the 1950s and then disappears again. Maybe newspapers might be more illuminating, but I find no narrative about the place in any source. At best this might be a locale, but for instance there's no confirmation that the hall is named for a place as opposed to a person. Mangoe (talk) 04:11, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:V, since we have no reliable source which says the subject is a populated place. The one source cited is not considered reliable for this purpose. Hut 8.5 10:47, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I thus far am finding plenty of sources for the article, and have expanded it. More work will need to be done, but this was a community which has been around for over 100 years. There appear to be quite a few newspaper articles, but I started with state sources. Firsfron of Ronchester 11:45, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The recent additions and improvements establish this as a populated place. Jeffrey Beall (talk) 09:40, 21 October 2022 (UTC).[reply]

• Keep now that it's being expanded. It's already better than it was, and Firsfron sounds like they have more to add. 3mi1y (talk) 06:29, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
