Consensus is that all verifiable places are inherently notable, and thus warrant an article. However, there are concerns that this is not an actual place, but rather a nickname for another community. I found
this source, which mentions the governor of Illinois traveling to Mexico, Illinois, so it seems to be a real community. –

No, no. You misread "Governor George H. Ryan today announced that he will be traveling to Mexico, Illinois' second largest trading partner, and meeting with President Ernesto Zedillo and President-elect Vicente Fox." --

Hauser, Philip M. and Evelyn M. Kitigawa, editors; Local Community Fact Book for Chicago 1950. Chicago, Illinois : University of Chicago, 1953. p258
This seems, then, to be a genuine place. If consensus really supports the madness of an article on every verifiable place, then this article should stand. —

Indeed. However, while all verifiable places have been deemed inherently notable, borderline verifiability is usually dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Thus, it might be best to revert the redirecting of the article, and send it to AFD. –
