New York, Florida

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Coordinates lead me to a field with a few houses nearby and a church named New Bethel. Florida Geographic Names calls this a locale. A bit hard to find information considering the community has the name of a U.S. state, but I don't think this was ever a community. wizzito &#124; say hello!  20:24, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment. Looking at historic maps of this area might be helpful. Many rural areas lost population as farming grew increasingly mechanized and capital-intensive. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 22:59, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Newspaper searches are coming up empty and historical topos show the same couple of houses. No sign of anything here that meets WP:GEOLAND or WP:GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 04:07, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per significant coverage I found. This is the biggest pain I've ever had with a geostub: "30,786 Matches · "new york" "milton" "santa rosa county" in Florida". Nonetheless -- and I deserve an award for this -- I found some. On April 14, 1970, the Pensacola News Journal said that "Pond Creek rises near Santa Rosa County's New York Community, northeast of Chumuckla". In 2008, someone left "his home in the New York community in Santa Rosa County", and 2011 someone was referred to as "of the New York Community, FL". The capstone of it is this feature article devoted entirely to the community, its residents and history. jp×g 00:47, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
