Winding Stair, Kentucky

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Much like this is a Lawrence County location that GNIS is sourced to Rennick, but it appears in neither of Rennick's published books. Rennick's Lawrence County Card Collection has a mention to a Winding Stair that is a cave along Catt Creek near the "old 'Sprinkle' farm". Rennick doesn't say too much about said cave, and searching for Winding Stair is mainly brining up a trail in southern Kentucky near the Rockcastle River and the mountains in Oklahoma. This doesn't seem to be notable and it certainly is not an unincorporated community, where GNIS got the idea that this is a "populated place" I don't know. Hog Farm Talk 00:53, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

 * delete Locates to a random spot on a hillside, which coordinates are not to be relied on anyway. Even in that general area there's obviously no town. Mangoe (talk) 01:04, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
 * This is a house at the head of Catt's Creek, per . It is not in .  However, the card collection cited in the nomination is sourced to an account of "Stories that tell about streams" by Edma Lane Carter in a Lawrence County Folklore journal and  says outright "Neither of the two traditional accounts of the derivation of this stream's name have been confirmed.".  The stream name story is the source of the Winding Stair name.  So this is a suspect name of a house where possibly someone once stayed.  According to folklore. We haven't come across an "unincorporated community" that's sourced to outright unconfirmed folklore in the Ramsay Card Collection for Missouri, so Missouri seems to be one up on Kentucky here.  I know: famous last words. Uncle G (talk) 08:56, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
