Meeting House Hill, Delaware

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Here we come upon a novel issue: there are three different spots with this name in the immediate area. The spot from GNIS is another subdivision entered from the same commercial amp as the others; there is really no question that it isn't notable. There's another subdivision outside Newark which I would also assume does not merit notice. Meanwhile Delaware Place Names lists it as another name from Drummond Hill, which is a hill, and whose coordinates do not correspond with either of the other two. So I'm not seeing keeping this for any of the three. Mangoe (talk) 20:43, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect to Hockessin, Delaware: USGS maps show a couple houses along a couple roads in 1901 and 1904. By 1943, there seem to be many more houses, and a couple new roads; in 1954, there's some expansion of the roads; the next 1:24k map, in 1993, is the first appearance of any label for this place, which is given as "Meeting House Meadow". The label "Meeting House Hill" first appears in 2011, at which point USGS had begun churning out maps automatically generated from GNIS data; prior to that, the same location was only labeled in the 1993 map, where it was called "Cameron Hills". Being labeled on old USGS topo maps is a pretty low bar to clear, and this doesn't even get that far. Google satellite maps tell a similar story: there just doesn't seem to be a whole lot going on here, and the coordinates themselves are given by Google as being a part of Hockessin. If someone can show a bunch of sources talking about Meeting House Hill as a real place, then I'll !vote to keep, but it doesn't seem likely to me. jp×g 23:04, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - Non notable subdivisions. Google Street View shows small entrance signs for Meetinghouse Meadow here and Meeting House Hill here, which I would speculate are named after nearby Hockessin Friends Meeting. –dlthewave ☎ 17:09, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
