Sweet Gum Head, Florida

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Looks to be at a crossroads with a few buildings nearby. Florida Geographic Names calls it a lake. Likely not a community. wizzito &#124; say hello!  20:39, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment I'm not sure where the "lake" label came from (GNIS calls it a "locale"), but this article indicates that it was indeed a very small village. There are a few more news articles from the 20th century but I'm not sure that it meets WP:GNG or WP:GNIS; a redirect to Holmes County, Florida might be appropriate. –dlthewave ☎ 21:50, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment. Looking at historic maps of this area might be helpful. Many rural areas lost population as farming grew increasingly mechanized and capital-intensive. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 22:59, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Man, this is a whole lot easier than the last geostub I searched for, which was "New York, Florida". Newspaper results look promising. A guy was from there in 1951. There was a Sweet Gum Head Church of Christ in 1952. It was the destination of a highway in nineteen fifty something, and in 1958 it is mentioned as a town, as well as in "Did Prosperity Go To Sweet Gum Head?", an article from 1961. In 1966, we get "a resident of the Sweet Gum Head community in the northwestern part of the county". There's also coverage in this article from 1966. jp×g 00:57, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
