Travis Mill, Virginia

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This is a mill that was mislabeled as a populated place by GNIS and subsequently created as an "unincorporated community" stub. I could not locate any independent sourcing that mentions a community of this name, and the few newspaper hits covering minor occurrences at the mill are insufficient to meet GNG. This article was recently PROD deleted and subsequently restored by a request for undeletion. Although any PROD can be reversed upon request, this particular request seems to misunderstand both the purpose of Wikipedia (they mentioned its usefulness to genealogy research, which typically uses primary sources that cover topics far below our notability standards) and the reliability of sources that came up in a Google search (RoadsideThoughts and Hometown Locator are notorious GNIS scrapers). –dlthewave ☎ 00:29, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Newspapers.com hits describe it only as a mill property owned by E.B. Travis in 1905 and F.M. Travis in 1920. No evidence of being a notable community. Dozens of similarly negligently mass-produced pages in Template:Caroline County, Virginia should be likewise deleted. Reywas92Talk 01:52, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
