Seems to be a WP:MILL municipal building. No claim of notability in the article. Searching finds some routine local coverage. MB 23:42, 21 May 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  00:06, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep WP:MILL is just an essay. A quick search found that there is enough reliable independent coverage available to pass WP:GNG. I'm on my phone and in a hurry just now so currently unable to link to it directly. NemesisAT (talk) 08:07, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge: Fourth Franklin County Courthouse should be merged into this article keeping the title.Djflem (talk) 17:44, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Merge as suggested by Djflem seems reasonable, including because "Fourth Franklin County Courthouse" appears not to have ever been a name used in the real world. There are numerous U.S. county courthouse articles which cover current and historical buildings of the same county.  It is usually better to cover them together to provide more context, to understand why the successor ones were built, etc. Note there is a merger proposal now at Talk:Fourth_Franklin_County_Courthouse where some participants here have commented (I have not commented there, but do support "merge").  That merger proposal could/should be closed by the closer of this AFD. --Doncram (talk) 15:07, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
