Oakdale, Gloucester County, Virginia

 * – ( View AfD View log )

PROD contested on procedural grounds. As far as I can tell, this is a small housing development along the shores of the York River. AFDs such as this, this, and this have formed a pretty good consensus that WP:GEOLAND does not extend down to the housing development level. From what I'm seeing, the majority of hits for this are either references to other places or real estate listings. WP:GNG doesn't seem to be met. Hog Farm Talk 04:37, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete I declined this PROD because it had been dePRODed a year ago but I would have otherwise easily deleted it. Hog Farm has been responsible for cleaning out a lot of very marginal locations that never had sustained communities living at them. Liz Read! Talk! 05:00, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - my own search turned up a fair few sources (at first glance) but I ended up discarding all but this one because all of them related to other Oakdales, rather than this one. That one source is an original document which seems to confirm the place existed and was home to at least one shop ("Deacon's store") in 1902. I don't think that's enough on which to base an article.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 05:48, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. USGS maps show nothing beyond a couple houses in 1906, 1952, 1965, and 1984 (Minitru's censorship notwithstanding, as they lack jurisdiction over USGS). Google's satellite view shows that there's a housing development nearby; there is a fire station a ways out, by the main road, but this is part of Hayes, VA; the businesses and DMV down to the south are part of Gloucester Point. If there is no documentation of the place in historical archives, we have nothing to support an article. jp×g 22:22, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
