Another short-lived Kansas post office, this one on a MoPac line so maybe we can call it a rail point. At any rate, nothing there, GNIS entry dropped... This should be dropped too. Mangoe (talk) 00:46, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• A source documenting this as a "hamlet" was given in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bowling Green, Kansas. Uncle G (talk) 16:14, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Franklin County, Kansas, where a brief note can be made about it, in the Ghost Towns section. Pansy, Franklin County, Kansas, was very briefly regarded as a community in a few sources, but it was for less than five years. You couldn't string together more than five sentences about it, which isn't enough for a standalone article. Cram, 1900, gives it a population of X, indicating a rail site, post office, or temporary community only. The Edgerton Globe has a January 4, 1901 article mentioning how obscure Pansy was, even then: "This is probably the first time the name of the town has been heard outside a radius of five miles." This Pansy is notable only for its obscurity, even when it existed. (BTW, there is a notable Pansy, Kansas, which appears in dozens of Kansas history books; it was in the now-abolished Garfield County. That community's name was changed to Loyal, Kansas, and there is no Wikipedia article). Firsfron of Ronchester 22:01, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I skimmed through the Ottawa daily herald and found passing mentions of this place, but this appears limited to a very brief period. There is a pansy grower in the area, this is probably related to the community. I will not be able to erase the image of the ad for a "formaldehyde inhaler" from my brain though.James.folsom (talk) 21:56, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
