The Woodlands, Indiana

This was redirected to its enclosing township, but I have reverted that because I do not agree that such redirection is an appropriate option for dealing with a non-notable subdivision: for that is what this is. Some developer, in the vainglorious days of mid-1990s real estate, carved little niches into the forest and plunked down a series of McManors (they are on the small side for proper McMansions) along a suitably winding drive, surely advertised in the Indy Star's real estate section, but otherwise unremarked. The Eagle Township article, like this article as written, uses the euphemism "unincorporated community" rather than calling this place what it is. It's not a term we should use and I doubt the virtue of listing some subset of subdivisions simply because GNIS happened to note them. Mangoe (talk) 03:07, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Eagle Township, Boone County, Indiana, where it is mentioned, per NGEO (If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the informal place should be included in the more general article on the legally recognized populated place or administrative subdivision that contains it.) and AtD.Djflem (talk) 05:03, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete There are tens of thousands of generic non-notable subdivisions like this in the US, and they should not be catalogued in township articles. Reywas92Talk 07:40, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
