Moutardier, Kentucky

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Topos don't really show anything resembling a community at all here, but newspapers.com clarifies the situation: this appears to have been some sort of resort/marina. (FWIW, Rennick's index calls it a locale, but doesn't expound on it). Doesn't seem to be in his published book or his Grayson County directory. But for the stuff that actually mentions it: calls it a resort and marina. [https://www.newspapers.com/image/107321103/?terms=Moutardier&match=1 calls it a "recreational site". references Moutarider as a boat ramp. calls it "Nolin's largest campground". This isn't and wasn't a community, so WP:GEOLAND isn't met. The coverage doesn't rise to meet WP:GNG, either. (a lot of the mentions are in advertisements).

 * leaning delete In fact the newspaper hits are misses, as it were: when the river was dammed, eventually a rec area and boat ramp were built on its shores, quite a distance from the original Moutardier. That spot shows a great deal of change over the years on the aerials, so that almost all of the original buildings disappear, replaced by new houses, a tackle shop, and some other businesses on different spots. My guess is that Moutardier refers to the whole locale rather than a particular settlement, if it is thought of at all, but I can't show that. It looks on the aerials that the original place was maybe a couple of now defunct farms. I'm still fairly dubious about the presence of a notable settlement, but I'm not quite sure about it.

 * Merge/redirect to Nolin River Lake, to the extent that there's much of anything to merge. There's little enough out there on the original site that we can't really say what it is, and it seems like the modern Moutardier is more of a recreation area on the lake than a proper community. It's worth noting in the lake's article, but unless someone finds a lot more information on it I'm not sure it merits its own article. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 01:13, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to Nolin River Lake, not independently notable, but deserves a mention at the lake article. Devonian Wombat (talk) 22:41, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
