Stately Oak, Virginia

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Most of these Virginia ones are noncontroversial enough to be PRODded (with the exception of the leftovers from the procedurally closed corners nomination which aren't PROD eligible), but the topos actually show stuff at this point, so taking to AFD. WP:BEFORE brings up a a handful of references to teachers being appointed to the Stately Oak School in the Lottsburg district in the 1904-1909 time frame. Beyond that, I found a single reference to a Stately Oak Church contributing $3 to a missions fund, although the reference was too vague to determine if the church is in the same area as this location. While there appears to have possibly been an informal neighborhood here, I was unable to find evidence in RS that this was ever a legally recognized populated place, so this looks to fail WP:GEOLAND.

 * Delete: per nom. The nom does a good job of researching these articles. Fails GNG and GEOLAND. No objection to a redirect if the closer thinks a suitable target has been proposed.  // Timothy :: talk  16:48, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
