Article on an "old town" in Texas. My WP:BEFORE reveals nothing but seemingly not independent articles which are really just event listings for this very old business development. Therefore it fails WP:NBUILD Bait30 ^Talk? 05:47, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Spring, Texas, leaving a redirect. @Bait30: if you and all other participants of this discussion agree, withdraw this AFD as "speedy procedural keep" then do a WP:BOLD redirect and invite people on Talk:Spring, Texas to incorporate the old content to effect a merge. If anyone reverts the redirect, open a merge discussion on the talk page or open a fresh AFD. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 16:02, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, c'mon! its got a cook book! actually that may not be enough, here are a couple more books that cover this town; Haunted Old Town Spring, and Just A Whistle Stop Away: The History Of Old Town Spring published by the East Texas Historical Association.

oops, so it meets WP:NGEO, hence a keep. Coolabahapple (talk) 05:12, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge This is simply the historic downtown area of Spring, Texas, not a distinct place. Redundant to Spring,_Texas#History and no reason it cannot be covered there. Similar to Old Town, San Diego, it obviously wasn't called that originally, but retroactively named as the community grew around it. Except here the place is still quite small and we absolutely don't need a separate article just to say this is the commercial area with older buildings that needed an advertising moniker.
