Nineteen, Kentucky

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I've looked for this "unincorporated community" to see if I can expand it, but I have found more or less nothing that so much as mentions its existence except GNIS and a book that appears to be pulling from GNIS. There is no post office, no evidence of a railroad stop, nothing. There is a street that passes the corner where the coordinates are called "Nineteen school road", and the best I can gather is that GNIS may have screwed up the "nineteen" in "Nineteen school road" for an unincorporated community's name that had a "school road".

In any case, this does not appear to pass WP:GEOLAND. This does not appear to be a legally recognized unincorporated community. Per the guideline, this would mean that we should evaluate this under the WP:GNG, but there does not appear to be significant coverage of this error by multiple independent reliable sources.

As such, this article should be deleted in line with WP:DEL-REASONs #7 and #8. —  Red-tailed hawk (nest) 21:42, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete topo has this labeling an intersection with the same sort of scattered homes as elsewhere in the area. The small group of neighbors in this vicinity may use this name, but without other sources (no results for "nineteen ohio county" on newspapers.com) this is not notable. That can be assumed for most anything from this user though. Reywas92Talk 02:55, 16 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete It's conceivable that "Nineteen school road" is so named because it goes toward or past some old "Nineteen school", so named because it was once the one-room schoolhouse of the village of "Nineteen"; but it's also possible that there was once a system of "school roads", whose tolls supported education, and that road happens to be the 19th one; and I'm sure other explanations for the name could be imagined. In the absence of a source giving some context to the name on the topgraphical map, I agree that it is appropriate to delete the article. DavidLeeLambert (talk) 18:12, 16 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete as per all of the above. This place, if it even exists, is notable only at a local level. TH1980 (talk) 01:58, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete image search gave me a map with a place named Nineteen on it, but that's obviously not enough. Possibly an old place name for a cross-road; not finding any other evidence that the place exists or is inhabited. Elinruby (talk) 14:19, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Hold because I've just phoned the Ohio County library to see if they have any information about this place. Probably not worth keeping but want to do some sort of gut-check with offline sources. It appears they'll be in tomorrow but in the likely event I don't hear anything from them I have no issue with this being deleted after 24 hours. Ab e g92 contribs 22:56, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
