Mississippi, Kentucky

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The claim of a community being here appears to be incorrect, as this location was actually a Baptist Church with a cemetery. GNIS is sourced to Rennick, but his notes for Carlisle County and his index don't mention a Mississippi in Carlisle County. Following the coordinates takes me to a location of Rennick's annotated topographic map labeled Mississippi Church, with "Bap." (apparently Baptist) handwritten next to it. I can only go as far back as 1939 with the topographic maps, but all call it Mississippi Church and show the church and an apparently associated cemetery. Searching for "Mississippi, Carlisle County, Kentucky" brings up nothing about this supposed place. Next, I searched for "Mississippi Church, Carlisle County, Kentucky" and found this, which states that someone was buried at a Mississippi Church, which is implied to have an address in nearby Arlington. Looking for it under Mississippi Baptist Church brings up this. And someboy left the church money in her will in the early 20th century. Further WP:BEFORE searching only brings up directory listings (suggesting a Bardwell address) and few mentions that someone was a member of the church. I have been unable to find evidence that this was anything other than a church, so it fails WP:GEOLAND. What I can find does not indicate a WP:GNG pass either. Wikipedia is WP:NOTDIRECTORY of isolated churches who do not meet WP:GNG, so deletion looks like the best call, since List of churches in Carlisle County, Kentucky would almost certainly fail WP:LISTN and WP:NOTDIRECTORY.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * delete Mississippi Baptist Church is still there (in a modern building) and has a Facebook page. It's still more or less isolated and is clearly not a settlement. Mangoe (talk) 02:06, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
