Skullhead, Georgia

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Taking to AFD, rather than PROD, because this one just baffles me. This GNIS entry in the article does not work, here is the correct one. Google Maps says the coordinates are out in the middle of the woods on "Skullhead Road", while the topos show it on the edge of a swamp. Exactly one of the topos includes the name "Skullhead" at the site, but shows nothing there. It's near the Florida/Georgia line, so I tried searching newspapers.com in both states, and got a bunch of uses of skullhead as an adjective, a white supremacist metal band, and a bowling league team from Florida in 1962. This 1980s USGS document calls it a locale. Google books isn't helpful at all. I can't fathom what this place was, but it doesn't seem to meet WP:GEOLAND or WP:GNG.

 * Speedy delete Whatever the story is, it hardly matters: this was mass-produced by the same person who made such junk as Articles for deletion/Monkey Box, Florida and they had no respect for substantive coverage and verifiability. The Georgia Geographic Names link shows that the GNIS erred in transcribing its "class" entry, as they so often do, and this is not a notable community. Reywas92Talk 04:19, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * delete A point in a swamp which is obviously not a settlement and for which nothing can be found is surely non-notable, even prusming whatever it was existed. Mangoe (talk) 05:03, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * speedy delete yet another pointless article for a seemingly nonexistent US community. Dronebogus (talk) 13:54, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete no where is our coverage more unbalanced than in geography. We have an article on this place that there is no evidence ever even had one resident, yet of Oruk Anam's 16 major villages we have articles on no more than 10 of them. That is a place that 15 years ago had 172,000 people.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:07, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
