Latham, Alabama

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This case is similar to that of Swift, Alabama in that the surviving trace of whatever was here is a church, in this case listed on the NRHP, but again, there's nothing much here, and the labelled spot is a house somewhat south of the church. The NRHP forms suggest that, again, the church was built to serve a locale rather than as part of a distinct settlement; what I'm seeing suggests this was just a post office.

 * The two are the same place.  The creek is still named Red Hill, notice.  The GNIS record has Red Hill as a post office in the same record. And pretty much all of this information is in the second source of Latham United Methodist Church. Uncle G (talk) 18:18, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge to Baldwin County, Alabama. बिनोद थारू (talk) 00:49, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment I'd imagine the name was changed because Red_Hill,_Alabama already had a post office at that time..., That Red Hill is in Marshall County Alabama, I've many ancestors from there.James.folsom (talk) 03:37, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge I concur on the merge, as all the policies seem to indicate that merger is the best option for non-notable articles that are verifiable. The county is a good place for it. I'm willing to do the merge if you remind me when it's time.James.folsom (talk) 22:41, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I'd say rather to Latham United Methodist Church for the very simple and pragmatic reason that if that article were fully expanded from the sources that it already has, it would cover this topic at least as well if not better than this article at hand does.

 * Apologies, I was imprecise in my language, I support merge to where ever is suitable. And agree with your assessment. James.folsom (talk) 00:29, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
