Santiam Junction, Oregon

It's a road and railway junction. The community may well prove me wrong but I cannot see how a simple road and rail junction is notable for inclusion. It'd need to be pretty significant. The article says it is the site of the National Register of Historic Places-listed Oregon Pacific Railroad Linear Historic District, which be taht as it may is referring to a large area of track and land, not to a particular railway and road junction.

Keep - Towns/villages are inherently notable regardless of size. And this one has its own National Register of Historic Places-listed district. And I've never seen a community that has it's own airport up for AfD before. --Oakshade (talk) 21:57, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree with Oakshade. --Kevin Murray (talk) 22:05, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep What they said. Communities are inherently notable; this one even has its own airport. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 22:09, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm inclined to keep this as a notable landmark, but I can't find evidence it was ever an inhabited community; and the "airport" is basically an emergency landing strip often used for mountain rescues. The significant use of the site, aside from as a regional landmark for driving/hiking directions, is as a highway maintenance facility. As such it may be best merged with the airport, which is marginally notable. --Dhartung | Talk 22:52, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
keep please listing in the national register of historic places makes is very important too yuckfoo (talk) 00:42, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Okay I misread it. I didn't actually realise it was also a town. That is my mistake and my problem. It didn't state that it was a community as well when I started the notability thing on it and didn't pay enough attention to the subsequent edits. Previously it only said it was a road and rail junction. I withdraw the nomination. Canterbury Tail talk 01:23, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
