I removed a negative tag on this article about its sourcing, perhaps related. The content of this list is mainly the post offices that are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, because those are probably all individually Wikipedia-notable and the list of them is available through the NRIS database. One could add a reference to NRIS for each item separately, but that wouldn't be particularly helpful, it would just make 500 or 900 copies of the same reference. I don't think it is disputed whether any single item on this list belongs here...they are just post offices... and I don't think footnote copies would help. It is not necessary to footnote everything in any article; only assertions which are contentious, disputed or unusual really need to be footnoted. If someone else perceives there to be a sourcing issue, please explain. --doncram16:35, 28 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
Most but not necessarily all of the items are National Register-listed. The bluelink items in this list have separate sourcing at their articles, which doesn't need to be copied to here. The redlink items are all (i think) supported by supporting bluelinks (like is required on disambiguation pages per MOS:DABRL) to NRHP list-articles that use the redlink in context. Those NRHP list-articles are themselves sourced, are based on NRIS, in their identifying the places as being listed on the National Register, establishing their existence as post offices. --doncram16:40, 28 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
Post offices that are historically important, such as that of Charleston, South Carolina, where, with approval from the Postmaster General and the President, I think Jackson, for publicly burning abolitionist mail instead of delivering it.
