Talk:Monterey (Mississippi)

Monterey (Mississippi)
A Wikipedia search has turned up nothing. More alarmingly, a Google Map search has turned up nothing; the closest town named Monterey is in the state of Louisiana. I'm really not convinced that this Mississippi town even exists. Eco84 (talk) 23:02, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. The Census gazetteer also knows of no such place.  LtPowers (talk) 00:56, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect A Google search shows Monterey exists near Florence (not far SE of Jackson, MS). Seen on MapQuest The question becomes whether or not there is accommodation available to meet our requirement. There is also a newspaper article here that mentions a "Monterey" man from Oct 2012. There were also a couple Google hits for Monterey Water and Monterey Volunteer Fire Dept. There were no hits on Google Maps or MapQuest for "hotel", "motel", "inn", or "RV" (park/resort) in Monterey, MS (or located in Monterey when searching using "Florence, MS"). Since the place actually exists, but there is no accommodation, it should be a redirect to close-by Florence (Mississippi) (which has an RV Park & Super8 motel).

 * Odd that it wasn't on Google Maps, although I was able to pinpoint the location based on the MapQuest map above (Monterey Road and Mississippi Highway 469). The grocery store and fire station at that location both have a Pearl, Mississippi postal address. The Florence link above appears to have been created as a redirect to Richland (Mississippi).

 * Speedy redirect to Richland (Mississippi). Which I have done. Generally, I'm fine with speedying outlines for places that barely exist, since we're more about the business of writing travel guides than creating random placename articles. Since we're already mired in a discussion, though, I went ahead and moved it to a name that could conceivably sustain an article when combined with the mentioned redirected places ;)  --Peter Talk 02:19, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
