Abernathys Mill, Georgia

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not a real place. Google only produces Wikipedia mirrors and generic things that pulls from GNIS. Coordinates lead to a place near a highway with a few houses. The highway map listed has Abernathys Mill on it, but lists it not as a populated place... but instead as a bridge. wizzito &#124; say hello!  22:18, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete This appears to be a mill mislabeled as a populated place. The 1960 topo shows a building in/on the river as one would expect of a mill, and it also appears in two real estate listings from the 1980s . None of this comes close to meeting the Significant Coverage requirements of WP:GEOLAND/WP:GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 23:04, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Haralson County, Georgia. Newspaper results show that an "Abernathy Mill" does exist historically, but even going back to the dawn of recorded history the 1800s, all I can find is stuff along the lines of "Abernathy's mill located on this river five miles north of Buchanan" (1931), "Graveside services for Mrs. Julius (Frances Kearney) Hughes of Abernathy Mill Road (1974), "The historic Abernathy Mill [...] built in 1830" (1982). Expanding the search to neighboring Alabama brings up "the property known as the Abernathy Mill" (1876), but it's not clear this is the same place, since in 1876 the Alabama papers said that "the building known as the Abernathy mill has been torn down". I don't see anything to support the existence of this as a populated area. It does, however, seem quite clear to me that there really is (was?) an Abernathy's Mill in Haralson County. jp×g 17:03, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom and Dlthewave. I see no benefit to redirecting to the county as mentioning the mill on that page would create WP:UNDUEWEIGHT, and a redirect to a page that doesn't mention the topic isn't useful or appropriate.4meter4 (talk) 17:08, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
