Reliable sourcing needed for verification[edit]

The article goes on a bit too long about the supposed origin of the name of the place. I removed the following original research text:"This information was provided by William "Billy" Grout of Corbin, and confirmed by J.W. "Jack" Ratcliff of Livingston, who added that the man who owned the satsuma orange trees was David Clayton, who, as he said, "just drifted in here." Mr. Ratcliff further related that Clayton owned the land where Smiley's meat packing plant is located." That does not qualify as "reliable sourcing." This is not to question the veracity of the editor who added it or the men quoted, but Wikipedia requires something from a reputable publisher of fact, not just local legends tied to some named person.

The history of Satsuma is verbal tradition and this information is exceptionally important as there are no reputable publishers of fact when you speak about this region. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.7.106.79 (talk) 21:06, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
