Lakeshore, Kentucky

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Appears to be an informal neighborhood of some sort, but not the sort of legally recognized community that passes WP:GEOLAND. Pre-GNIS topos show a Lake Shore Drive, but no Lakeshore community (it appears on topos after the topographic maps became essentially GNIS mirrors). While I'm finding a few references for real estate listings with addresses on the drive, all I can find that references any sort of a community there is this obituary, which mentions a Lake Shore Subdivision and a Lake Shore Addition. Subdivisions generally don't have legal recognition as communities, so they tend not to pass WP:GEOLAND. Looks like this fails GEOLAND and WP:GNG. Hog Farm Bacon 20:24, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment: This is a subdivision near Dawson Springs, not a separate community, per the obit posted by nominator.  Typically wouldn't have its own article, and I don't see a reason to have one.--Milowent • hasspoken  21:11, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Subdivisions/neighborhoods are not notable. This, like many of the thousands of mass-produced junk articles in KY and WV, are just people who live on the same road and calling the whole thing a community. True, but "community" is not our basis for having an article. Reywas92Talk 21:34, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
