*::::::So nothing to say about this ''selo'' that became a ''selo'' when it had a population of zero. Nor about [[8-y km]] (another new ''selo'' with zero population)? Nor about [[Mekimdya]] (another zero-population ''selo'')? How about Cherendey which became a ''selo'' in 2004 according to RU Wiki, when it had a population of zero? And [[Seyat]], which according to RU Wiki has never been populated on the census? And [[Vorontsovo, Sakha Republic]], which has never had a recorded population according to RU Wiki? Are these not ''selo''? Exactly which part am I missing here? [[User:FOARP|FOARP]] ([[User talk:FOARP|talk]]) 08:02, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
*Astonishingly, I've just realised that over a week and sixty comments into this discussion of articles written solely by {{u|Nikolai Kurbatov}}, including a proposal to ''specifically exclude them from the notability guideline'', nobody has bothered to notify him of it. I've done so now. – [[User:Joe Roe|Joe]] <small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 09:17, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
*::::::I think the main reason for confusion here is that you think that this place was first classified as (="became") an inhabited locality (a ''selo'') in 2004. That is not the case. 17 km had inhabited (rural) locality status since at least 1948; the term "station" in Sakhalin Oblast can refer to a bona fide generic railway station, yes, but also is a type of a rural locality (along with "''selo''", "village", and "settlement"). It was not that a random empty railway station was elevated to an "inhabited locality" in 2004 (which would've indeed been odd); it's that an already existing inhabited locality (which happened to have no population at the time) which was previously classified as "station" was reclassified as a ''selo'', along with dozens of other inhabited localities across the oblast (five settlements and another "station" under jurisdiction of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk were reclassified as a ''selo'' by the same law, as a matter of fact). It's not at all the same as "creating" a new ''selo'' where none existed before! Once you wrap your hand around this quirk of terminology, it makes perfect sense why NGEO very much applies to 17 km, but would not be applicable to, say, nearby railways stations (but not inhabited localities!) of 10 km or 19 km.—[[User:Ezhiki|Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky)]] • ([[User talk:Ezhiki|yo?]]); <span class="nowrap">October 5, 2023</span>; 16:53 (UTC) 16:53, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
