Three buildings marked on topo map, matches the buildings on GMaps of the DNR hatchery. Unclear where the mass-produced claim of "is an unincorporated community" comes from or what makes it notable. Reywas92^Talk 01:55, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

*Redirect to Altura, Minnesota, which is the community listed on the Fish hatchery website. It seems plausible someone might search for this term, as it matches the name of the road that the hatchery is on.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 22:44, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~- It is listed here.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 22:47, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Topos dating to 1934 show the same three buildings adjacent to a Transient Relief Camp. Site is not on regional topo. The 1920 Minnesota Geographic Names: Their Origin and Historic Significance fails to mention it, and this 1948 classifieds listing and this 1932 picnic notice mark it at Altura, so this site should be mentioned with Altura as suggested.

Which is closer? Altura or Elba, Minnesota?--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 02:57, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - According to the Minnesota DNR, the property has been part of a Wildlife Management Area since 1932 and was a farm before that. The Minnesota Place Names mention is questionable and, even with the other sources, isn't sufficient to meet GNG in any case. The name likely refers to the spring itself. –dlthewave ☎ 00:28, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Elba, Minnesota, which is closer than Altura, though smaller and presumably lacks a post office. (It seems like anyone wishing to improve Elba has some ready-made sources thanks to Reywas92.)--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 22:44, 9 April 2020 (UTC)}}[reply]
