Allen Shop Corner, Virginia
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

I've been looking at this one for awhile now, but am just now getting around to nominating this. Topos show a few buildings at an isolated road junction, nothing of significance on newspapers.com, and searching in other sources didn't bring up any significant coverage. While Carlton Corner, Virginia in the same county appears to have been the location of an old store of some historical significance, I couldn't confirm anything of that sort for this location. Previous AFD was a large bundled nomination that was closed procedurally. Hog Farm Talk 03:40, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete The prior closure was a mistake, with no evidence-based arguments to keep whatsoever. People shouldn't be able to make thousands of junk "articles" just to be procedurally kept without evidence of notability. Reywas92Talk 06:54, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete Per nom and above. Lacks strong reliable sources to pass GNG. Jaysonsands (talk) 10:32, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:GEOLAND and GNG. However, note that this article does not fall under any of the WP:CSD criteria so speedy delete would not apply here. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 12:38, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: There's no cause for a speedy deletion. Its 13 years old, we can wait seven days to delete it if necessary.--Milowent • hasspoken  15:51, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment on merits: It is a real location and on GNIS, but doesn't stand up to the normal scrutiny of our policies for a separate article.  I have a good idea who Allen was, but I can find no sources that verify it.--Milowent • hasspoken  14:12, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
