Wakulla Beach, Florida

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The article states itself: "This was a platted town that was supposed to bring tourists and visitors to northern Florida. Only a couple of houses remain. A hotel ruin is also visible, dating to the 1920s. There is no beach per se, a very shallow bay. No amenities at this spot in the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, at the end of a very long dirt road."

Coordinates lead me to a forested area near a bay with a few houses. Florida Place Names calls it a school (??). I don't think this is a community. wizzito &#124; say hello!  20:45, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. This once was a community. Once notable, always notable. Looking at today's maps can be misleading if you don't also look at historic maps. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 22:53, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, nom explains why it should be kept. Places that were once populated are still notable, just ghost towns. Waddles 🗩 🖉 00:03, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: Platted and thereby was a legally-recognized community, therefore passes WP:GEOLAND. Needs clean-up for sure though. Curbon7 (talk) 03:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep. It was a beach in 1921, previously called "East Goose Creek". It was a community in 1973. I don't see a lot of thorough coverage, but it definitely exists, and sometimes a stub is meant to be a stub, I suppose. jp×g 01:19, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
