Babcock, West Virginia

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This one was essentially impossible to search for. Topographic maps show three or four houses in a clearing in the woods north of the Meadow River and a rail line. However, Babcock State Park is in the same county as this, making any searching for this seemingly obscure location. It's not obviously related to the park, as this is located well to the northeast of the state park. Searching brings up a Babcock Coal & Coke Co. out of Pittsburgh that owned some land on a peak known as Buster's Knob in Fayette County, but as Buster's Knob is not particularly close to this supposed location, it also isn't obviously related. As it seems to be almost impossible to describe what this site is, I'm not sure that it's notable. Hog Farm Talk 05:10, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

 * leaning delete I'm not sure why the GNIS location is up against the tracks, because the topo label is quite clearly for the group of houses up the hillside. That said, the spot that is marked is a rail junction, and conversely the set of houses, which are still there, look like, well, four random houses. I'm inclined to agree that if we can't find a source that make some attempt at describing this, it ought to be deleted. Mangoe (talk) 03:31, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
