Non notable subdivision, fails WP:GEOLAND and WP:GNG. Newspaper coverage consists entirely of advertisements, promotional pieces and home sale listings. –dlthewave ☎ 12:00, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Very disappointing the first prod was removed with the reason "rm prod, finding sources on Newspapers.com" when all of those sources are advertisements or real estate listings for the housing development like [1], [2], and [3]. There is one 1965 blurb [4] in the "Real Estate Notebook" section mentioning its construction and a preview opening event but this place is undoubtedly not notable.

delete It was copied into GNIS from the same commercial map from which a long list of other developments were also copied, and there's no evidence that contradicts that it is in fact a development: the topos and aerials in particular all but document its construction. Given that the newspaper results validate this, unless there is strong evidence that it meets GNG, it needs to go. Mangoe (talk) 14:40, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I found nothing in Newspaper Archive and the single mention in a 1965 issue Wilmington News Journal is just not enough to write an article. The listing in the 1984 National Gazetteer gives us only an elevation. Maps show a subdivision. This place has not really been noted. Firsfron of Ronchester 18:47, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per Firsfron and Mangoe both failing to find anything (will skip my usual ten minutes of dicking around with USGS topo maps on this one). jp×g 23:38, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
