Non-notable railroad junction mislabeled as a community. Fails WP:GEOLAND and WP:GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 04:27, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

- Delete - location WP:EXISTS, but there's no indication that it meets WP:GNG. MrsSnoozyTurtle 06:11, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to Argonne, Wisconsin, of which it is a part and where it is mentioned. 16:35, 26 September 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djflem (talk • contribs)
- delete The only map I can find that seems to show the Argonne CDP doesn't include this spot, and I can't find any other evidence to support that inclusion. This is unsurprising given that the town has rather well-defined edges, with this wye junction sitting out at an isolated spot over a mile west of town. It's not a settlement and not a notable rail point. Mangoe (talk) 02:46, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- A better Wikipedia:Before, or simply reading the Argonne, Wisconsin article would show that the town has a total area of 108.3 square miles (280 km2), of which 108.2 square miles (280 km2) is land and 0.1 square miles (0.26 km2), or 0.06%, is water and is not the same as the Argonne (CDP), Wisconsin, so what's the point`?

- Well, I read both articles, and it seems that someone doesn't understand how CDPs work. The most common case for a CDP is an unincorporated town— like Argonne— and if you look at the census website now, it only recognizes the CDP, and not the town as a separate entry. So, no, I don't believe what the articles claim, especially insofar as they claim the census reported the town separately from the CDP. In any case, without a map showing the borders, there's no way to verify that the junction is in either the town or the CDP as the census did or did not delineate either.

- Hey Mangoe, are you familiar with the unique usage of "town" in Wisconsin? The town of Argonne would be the large 100-square-mile unincorporated area (similar to a township), which Argonne CDP (the small visible settlement) is a part of. I haven't seen the boundaries but it likely does encompass Wisconsin Junction. –dlthewave ☎ 22:03, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

- Redirect to Forest County, Wisconsin, or else delete: newspaper results are not bringing up anything terribly interesting. There is a mention in 1937: "in the vicinity of Wisconsin Junction, three miles west of Argonne". It was also called "Argonne Junction" sometimes. But it does not seem to have been a settlement. jp×g 23:35, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
