Coordinates point to a random rural road
[1]. No substantive sources establishing notability or existence as a community other than listing of place name in database or atlas.

Keep per
WP:GEOLAND. Listed in the Board of Geographic Names' National Gazetteer[2] which is the minimal threshold required per community consensus.

Can you please point to that consensus? That is merely a listing that it is a name that has appeared on a map, with no context. This is a random road, not a town or village.

"Can you please point to that consensus?" No, I'm not going to do that because GEOLAND is a notability guideline. I have no burden of proof to demonstrate the route by which it became a guideline. "That is merely a listing that it is a name that has appeared on a map, with no context." Per GEOLAND, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable. A legally constituted body of a sovereign state (the U.S. Board of Geographic Names) has recognized (a distinct threshold from "approved" or "sanctioned") the existence of Southeast Manor, Indiana by the simple act of publication of its name in an official volume (context or description is not a requirement). Therefore, it meets the minimum threshold of being "legally recognized". It does not have to pass the GNG.

Delete -
WP:NGEO states that geographical features, which includes communities, must meet Wikipedia's General notability guideline (
WP:GNG) to be presumed notable - even meeting the GNG does not guarantee notability, but this place does not meet GNG, so it is a clear delete - the
WP:GEOLAND guideline says nothing about a minimal threshold - if there is such a consensus among the community, then the guideline needs to be updated to reflect the new standard, but as it stands, we must follow the guideline and delete Southeast Manor, Indiana, as non-notable -

KeepWP:GEOLAND says no such thing. In fact, it clearly says these things are notable. This is disruptive behavior and certain editors need to stop it now.
