Marshtown, Delaware

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Geolocates to an isolated house in a field, at least until someone in the maps department moved the label to the other end of the driveway. Delaware Place Names calls it a locality, and I find nothing to contradict that— nothing at all, in fact. Mangoe (talk) 02:16, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - I can turn up a newspapers reference to Marshtown, a rural area off Delaware 24 between Midway and Millsboro, a creek named Marshtown Gut, and passing mentions of the Marshtown Road and Marshtown Hunting Preserve. I did find a reference to a Captain Marsh who had been given 600 acres outside of Lewes in 1680.  A USGS publication from 1980 calls it a locale.  I don't think this meets GEOLAND or GNG.
