Cool Springs, West Virginia

 * – ( View AfD View log )

If someone can find significant coverage for this Cool Springs, then I will happily withdraw this. My WP:BEFORE found evidence that there is this Cool Springs, another one near Charlestown, WV; another near Wheeling, WV; and another near Morgantown, WV. Of the four, I found very little about this one.

Old topographic maps show this label in between a point on a railroad near a river and a road junction, there is basically nothing at either point. Later maps move the label to the road junction, which my BEFORE suggests was the wrong choice. I found an old newspaper result for a boat burning at the "Cool Springs wharf" in Wood County, a listing in a long list of railroad stations, and a statement that it was a point on the railroad with no post office. While I didn't find evidence of a community at this site, it's possible the railroad station is notable, although I was not able to find significant coverage of the site. I'm inclined to think that the Wood County Cool Springs is non-notable.

Taking to AFD, instead of PROD, due to the difficulty in BEFORE caused by the commonness of this place name in WV. Hog Farm Talk 15:01, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

 * You found the list of stops on the Little Kanawha Railroad from 1903? I found the same thing.  After Weekley's.  The railroad was abandoned in 1937.  There's probably an article to be had on that, but I couldn't find anything to write about this.  Uncle G (talk) 17:20, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * delete Clearly just a railroad spot. The railroad in question was operated by the B&O and I find it was abandoned in stages up into the 1970s. Mangoe (talk) 23:09, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
