Epworth Forest, Indiana

Actually the Epworth Forest Conference Center, which describes itself as "a Christian summer camp in northern Indiana." It's run by the Methodists, but though it's a century old, it is otherwise not well-known: I got clickbait-level GHits on it. Mangoe (talk) 04:02, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Tippecanoe Township, Kosciusko County, Indiana. This is difficult. I'm going off the guide that inhabited places have inherent notability per WP:GEOLAND, because it's hard to find sources on this that aren't too affiliated; this is circumstantial. It's true that it's a Christian summer camp in that it sort of fulfills those functions; it's not true that it's merely a camp. First we find real estate listings categorized under Epworth Forest: . We also see this page giving some history on the subject; it's essentially a religious summer vacation spot/retreat center/conference center. It's clear, though, that it's populated, and certainly more populated in the summer. We also see archived photographs of the area from the 40s:  (also see similar items on the right). Under WP:GEOLAND, this has to then fulfill WP:GNG. It doesn't seem to, though there may be some old newspaper clipping out there that I either don't have access to or didn't find. I urge against deletion though owing to some inherent notability; redirects then should target the next highest polity.  Iseult   Δx parlez moi 09:16, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I see we do have a real estate locale here but it's still non-notable,a nd redirecting to larger areas is almost always a bad idea because those articles don't say anything about the place. Mangoe (talk) 01:09, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete A neighborhood apparently but not a notable one. Doen't belong in the township article either. Reywas92Talk 14:13, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - no coverage has been put forth to suggest that this is anything other than a church came and a similarly named housing development. Neither of those gets the GEOLAND pass, no indication that it meets WP:GNG, and a redirect would not be appropriate because it would be WP:UNDUE to mention this location in a township or county article.
