Barrons Lane, Georgia

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Just a railroad crossing, no houses or buildings in the vicinity. I doubt this is a community. wizzito &#124; say hello!  22:21, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - Older topos show a rail siding with several buildings and there are a few newspaper mentions of trains leaving from there, timetables, etc. I did find a couple mentions of people being from/of there, but this just means it was used as a landmark and doesn't necessarily indicate a community. This looks to be a former train station at best and in any case there's nowhere near enough significant coverage to meet WP:GEOLAND/WP:GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 23:41, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Macon County, Georgia. In 1885 it was the name of a train stop; in 1889 melons were being loaded onto trains there, and in 1893 some people lived in "the immediate vicinity of Barron's Lane". In 1924 there was another railroad track there; In 1942 people remembered the good old days packing peaches there. While it wasn't a populated place, it was certainly a thing that existed (unlike many of the "geostubs" that warp and weft through AfD). jp×g 17:24, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
