This article spuriously states that an unincoporated area is a new incoporporated place. The page creator has even created a new image highlighting the unincorporated area. Article lacks references except for a listing in the GNIS, which doesn't alone make this section of DuPage, Countty, IL, notable.

Delete as failing
WP:GNG unless someone can show some evidence. No evidence of this place being mentioned as a proper name in third-party coverage, let alone being news or covered itself. Also, the claim of incorporation as a village appears to be plain false; I don't think it's even a
CDP. To wit:
In a quick Google search I can't find any
WP:RS for this place even cited as a location in news, let alone coverage about the place itself. It could be that the name hasn't been used for decades, and we just don't have old printed coverage online, but I've found no evidence. I can't find any news articles on Google about "North Glen Ellyn".
The evidence indicates that this is not incorprated:
The Illinois Secretary of State is the official source of incorporated municipalities in Illinois and on that website there is no "North Glen Ellyn" in the
Name Index to Illinois Local Governments: I searched for "North Glen Ellyn" and I also looked at the whole list of municipalities in DuPage County, Illinois.
GNIS ID 42964 (typoed)
421964 "North Glen Ellyn" shows the Census code as 53754 and the Census class code U6, meaning "Populated (Community) Place (except those associated with facilities). A populated place that is not a
census designated or incorporated place having an official federally recognized name." Contrast this with
Glen Ellyn, Illinois, which like most incorporated municipalities, has two GNIS entries: GNIS ID
421819, which has census class code P1, meaning "Populated Place that is also an incorporated place with the same name and the same Census Code"; and "Village of Glen Ellyn", GNIS ID
2398972, census class code C1, meaning "Incorporated Places. An active incorporated place that does not serve as a county subdivision equivalent." --

@
Bnnnperdue:: What did you use to decide that "North Glen Ellyn" is incorporated as a village, or has a known amount of population? You seem to have done this with other places too. --

Delete as non-notable place and possible hoax. It's not even listed as a CDP.
[1] says so. This is in no way accurate and may be a deliberate hoax.

Incorporated without DuPage County having it on their GIS maps for jurisdiction and taxes, and without the Illinois Secretary of State having it published as incorporated, and with no online news coverage of there having been an incorporation referendum? Also, this article was created by
Bnnnperdue (
talk·contribs), who also modified and renamed
Clearing, Chicago to claim that it had ceded from the City of Chicago, which is just about impossible; and also see Bnnnperdue's article
Danada, Illinois being discussed at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Danada, Illinois. --

Delete as a hoax per the research of Closeapple, who basically proved a negative. It is rather incumbent on the article creator or others wanting to keep the article to verify the statements in the article with reliable sources.

Keep the article but remove all the unverifiable stuff. It's clear that this is a real place, it's clear that some - but not all - of the content is bogus, just remove that.

Delete Call the actual City of Glen Ellyn at (630) 469 5000 and I'm sure they'll also explain to you that it's a hoax. •

Delete The Village of Glen Ellyn seems to think the supposed area this community exists in is still part of their village. See
a map from their website showing much of the area in question to be unincorporated. Sorry, hoax. --
