The result was delete. No prejudice against moving any GNG-compliant content to an article on the house or whatever, but clear consensus that the locality isn't notable. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 23:55, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Blundon Corner, Virginia

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Technically ineligible for PROD, because it was part of Articles for deletion/Allen Shop Corner, Virginia, which was procedurally closed with no individual discussion of this particular article. Topos only show a single building and a survey benchmark at a crossroads, which both disappear by the 1960s. Newspapers.com brings up a single reference to "Henry Blundon's corner" and a house being built there, and the rest of the stuff my WP:BEFORE brought up are just bare references to this as a road landmark or junction. Nothing I've seen describes this is a community except for the ever-present GNIS "populated place" label. No evidence that WP:GEOLAND is met. Hog Farm Talk 02:31, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Also bundling in the following three articles. They are all similar cases - named road junctions with no signs of a community there and no significant coverage.



All four of these are in the same county, and none seem to meet WP:GEOLAND or WP:GNG. Hog Farm Talk 02:44, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete all Mass-produced junk without evidence of being notable communities. Reywas92Talk 07:00, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete all we have let these low sourced articles on virtually non-existent places stand unchallenged for too long.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:11, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It's not a crime to have articles on non-notable locales that exist. It takes time to build the greatest encyclopedia ever known to mankind. Maybe this should be deleted but there is no need for speedy deletion.--Milowent • hasspoken  18:30, 8 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete A7 Nightwolf1223 (talk) 18:35, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
 * lol, let's speedy delete the lot of y'all. The article is eleven years old, it can last a 7 day AFD.--Milowent • hasspoken  18:42, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
 * A7 does not apply to places, and the "claim of significance" in A7 is low enough that even claiming something is a populated place would probably meet it. I'm pretty confident these aren't notable, but the standard 7-day deletion process is proper the way to go. Hog Farm Talk 19:01, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Hog. I'm at least having fun learning about this "Arcadia" house at the location, even if it ends up in the dustbin.--Milowent • hasspoken  19:13, 8 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Move to Arcadia (house), Virginia. The Arcadia house seems to meet WP:GNG and WP:BUILD, so we can make this article about the house in order to preserve the edit history.Pontificalibus 10:42, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete all: per nom. The nom does a good job of researching these articles.  // Timothy :: talk  16:40, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
