Former CDP with no current or past significance. Amsterdam, Montana and Churchill, Montana are separate communities (and CDPs) with their own histories, so there's no reason to have a combined article. –dlthewave ☎ 02:17, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Being made a CDP is not a form of "legal recognition" as required under WP:GEOLAND #1 for presumed notability. Being e.g., incorporated would be. Anyway, as the nom states, this content is already hosted on other articles so there is no need for pointless duplication. FOARP (talk) 08:30, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and redirect to Gallatin County, Montana#Census-designated places. Agreeing with the points made above, just not the conclusion. Also please dewiki Amsterdam-Churchill, Montana at my redirect target after deletion. gidonb (talk) 00:35, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Gallatin County, Montana#Census-designated places per above. -The Gnome (talk) 15:49, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Amsterdam, Montana. I do see 48 matches in a newspaper search. Let's look through them: a few false positives, but also this, which seems to be a multi-page feature on the community (the second page here and the third page here). This is quite significant coverage, which I didn't really expect to find. There were a number of residents, as well as a church, a cemetery, et cetera. They formed a sewer district in 1973-74, which was voted for by 120 electors. People farmed potatoes there in 1985. People had "fights over gravel pits" there in 2007. This seems like it was certainly a place, quite possibly still is, about which much could be written. jp×g 22:38, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't see anything there that can't go on the Amsterdam and/or Churchill articles. Yes, they are sister communities that are themselves notable, but I don't think we need a third page to say that (and we definitely don't need articles on sewer districts...).

It creates unnecessary rehashing of materials. Already did. That's what this nomination seeks to eliminate. This opinion, however, illustrates why delete and redirect are needed. gidonb (talk) 14:36, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Reywas92: @Gidonb: I failed to notice that there were separate articles for the respective locales that this composite region is composed of. These sources can definitely just go in those articles; I'll change my !vote from "keep" to "redirect". jp×g 06:36, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@JPxG: Thank you for reconsidering and letting us know! gidonb (talk) 09:17, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Gallatin County, Montana#Census-designated places. An obsolete CDP doesn't need its own article. I agree with Reywas92 that the sources provided by JPxG could go in the history sections of the Amsterdam, Montana and/or Churchill, Montana articles. Keeping all 3 would be an unnecessary fork.
