The newspaper archive at the University of Oregon returns quite bounty of hits on a "Alicel" search. I wanted to help resolve the AfD issue and thought a good sifting of these through many pairs of eyes could yield a few nuggets of notoriety.

- I did that same search! I believe the article will be kept now, but I think the best way to expand it would be to add a history of the grain terminal. Cheers, Valfontis (talk) 00:39, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
- Since I do not want to make any conflicting edits with the AfD discussion pending I am listing any tidbits here and ask that you incorporate them should it be fitting.

- Hot diggety! I hoping the history of the platting would turn up! I have informal criteria for the notability of podunks that includes it having "enough" of the following, in no particular order: church, school, store, cemetery, newspaper, post office, reliable source for former population, station, platting, disincorporation, and yes possibly a grain elevator.
