Place exists in census data but shows no population. Satellite images show no roads and no signs of human activity in the area. Does not fulfill
WP:NGEO.

Comment. Previous census data and gazetteers should be checked. The population was probably greater than zero once. Eastmain (

Comment The population was 5 in the 2016 Australian census. Also, it doesn't have to be populated/residential to be notable—for example, the area seems to be a proposed renewable energy hub

Comment. Don't know where you looked but I see roads and evidence of human activity.

OK, I see, coordinates on the page are way off.

comment It's not a town, at least not according to the census, and the energy project seems to affirm this.

Keep I think it meets the notability criteria per
WP:POPULATED, which states Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low. In this case, it is an officially recognised locality as shown on official map services like
https://nationalmap.gov.au/ and
https://maps.slip.wa.gov.au/landgate/locate/.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, LizRead!Talk! 07:53, 18 April 2024 (UTC)reply
Keep per long-standing precedent of keeping articles like this. As an editor who often works on Western Australian places, if I'd noticed this article in
the state it was in when it was nominated for deletion, I would have redirected it to the relevant local government area (in this case the
Shire of Broome), but the article has enough content now that this doesn't seem to be a good idea anymore.

Keep per the editing of the article, and the comments by Calistemon and Graham87
