Bethel, Kentucky

 * – ( View AfD View log )

There are lots of places with Bethel in the name in Rennick's index, but only two are in Calloway County (county code 21035 is the identifier): a church and a cemetery. Topographic maps show Bethel Church and Bethel Cemetery, with no markings suggesting a community (later topos also show a Bethel Road). For those using newspapers.com to search for this: All of the hits suggesting a community seem to be for a Bethel in Bath County, which Rennick identifies as a populated place. Narrowing searches to Calloway County brings up a handful of brief mentions of the church and cemetery in obituaries. The church/cemetery fail WP:GEOLAND and WP:GEOFEAT, the road fails WP:GEOROAD, and the coverage fails WP:GNG. Since Wikipedia is not a directory of churches and cemeteries, this fails all relevant notability guidelines. Hog Farm Bacon 18:05, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
