Ootens Store, Kentucky

 * – ( View AfD View log )

GNIS entry is sourced to Rennick, despite this place not being mentioned in his finished book, his exhaustive index, or his guide of Clinton County post offices. Clinton County directory mentions a David G. Ooten but no Ooten's store. There's some sort of survey benchmark at Ooten's store. Topos show the benchmark and a couple buildings at the site. Nothing on newspapers.com. Google books results are a couple passing mentions in lists of place names and a reference to an F0 tornado tearing up some scaffolding at Ooten's Store. Nothing anywhere else I can turn up on my WP:BEFORE. There may have once been something here, but WP:GEOLAND requires legal recognition as a community, not just a cluster of buildings, and I'm not seeing GEOLAND or WP:GNG here.

 * delete It actually shows up on topos, which tends to suggest that some GNIS compiler correctly figured out from the map that it was a literal store. At least, tat would be my guess: no search result gives any clue as to the character of this place. Mangoe (talk) 00:02, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:V. I was unable to find even one source at Google books, newspapers, and news articles. Bearian (talk) 20:31, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
