Not recognized by GNIS. According to Durham and local historians, the Laverne post office operated from Jan. 1909 to April 1914 in Cooper’s Grocery on Linden Street in Mill Valley. There is a Laverne Avenue that predates the post office by several years. No one seems to no who Laverne was but there is no claim that Laverne was ever a community. Does not meet basic threshold for Wiki notability. Glendoremus (talk) 03:41, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This does not appear to have ever been a community. At most it was a post office. Not to be confused with La Verne, California, which exists. We might consider redirecting this title to that article, since someone might easily type Laverne when they mean La Verne. -- MelanieN (talk) 04:32, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought: To avoid confusion, it might be best to Delete and then redirect rather than leaving this history attached to a redirect about another community. -- MelanieN (talk) 16:48, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, delete and redirect would be more appropriate. Glendoremus (talk) 17:55, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect (delete old history) to La Verne, California as a reasonable attempt. This one isn't notable, though. Hog Farm _Bacon 11:34, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
