This location is not on the US National Register of Historical Places. There isn't even an application for it. The is a record from that someone submitted to the state of California but it was never followed up. Dr vulpes (talk) 04:50, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

- Comment it was at least nominated for the NRHP, see this. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 04:57, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- After going though the library of congress I did find the application https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/64000065.pdf Dr vulpes (talk) 05:12, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep This says it is an "officially designated United States national historic place" and it is in this listing by the National Park Service. MB 06:53, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- I think that establishes notability, so keep, but it needs to be expanded. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 08:09, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep, it is notable, and nomination was mistaken, as courteously admitted by the nominator. And ]
- Thank you, I did make a good faith effort to find anything that would have supported it being a historic place. I compared it to other applicants and it was significantly different so I assumed it was submitted but never formally approved. Moments after I submitted the deletion request I found the application in the library of congress. If I stumble on any formal rejection I'll reopen. Again thank you everyone for you time, effort, and kindness in the face of my mistake. Dr vulpes (talk) 06:18, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- Rename if kept to Shell Gas Station, La Grange or something like that. Shell has 1000s of gas stations worldwide. I do not know if this one is notable: not every historic building is. In UK it is only a minority of listed buildings that qualify. If not kept, Merge to La Grange, California. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:15, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- U.S. places are generally disambiguated with "(City, State)" while U.K. places are done as you suggest here. It would be fine for this to be moved to Shell Gas Station (La Grange, California), leaving a redirect behind, and that redirect could be marked with Template:R with possibilities. --Doncram (talk) 14:57, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:GEOFEAT. But obviously rename, as the current title implies it's the only Shell gas station. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:40, 31 May 2022 (UTC)]

- Keep, it has historical significance. I do too agree that it should be renamed to something less generic. Pikavoom Talk 13:06, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
