No community here, just a convenience store. Fails GEOLAND and GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 03:47, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. Looking at topos, I can see there were (and still are) a cluster of buildings around the intersection in the 1970s. Looking at the history of this article, it's clear the wording was recently changed in May to indicate this was a store, but the history of the article does not say that. A 1998 article in the Northwest Florida Daily News states this was a village/town, with a history going back to 1909, when it was named. The GNIS entry calls this a populated place, there are eight references to Codys Corner in this 1957 book, and there appears to be news articles. I'm leaning towards this being a notable place. I'm out of state without access to my paper references, but I think this article could be salvaged. Firsfron of Ronchester  04:31, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. I was able to expand the article. More work could be done, and likely will need to be done, but sources have noted this community for a century. No reason we should not. Firsfron of Ronchester  02:11, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep as a newspaper mentioned it as a village, rather than simply an intersection or store. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 01:25, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * delete Sorry, but I'm just not convinced. It's easy enough to see on the aerials what the two buildings which precede the store are: two identical bungalows. Nearly everything else simply testifies to it being a spot on the map. Mangoe (talk) 02:12, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep The Pensacola News Journal called it a town in 1998 and wrote quite a long article about it. At a crossroads on route 11. Caught up in a fire. Thincat (talk) 15:58, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep The populated place has been mentioned for many years in various publications. We have a big shelf.Whoisjohngalt (talk) 21:03, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep; comparing the revision that was nominated with the current revision, there's only a vague resemblance. It seems that this has been referred to as a town by a number of sources, which I have no reason to doubt. jp×g 21:47, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
