Windsor Farms, Pennsylvania

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Could not find any evidence of a community here, does not appear on topos. GNIS cites a 1982 county highway map. Newspaper results returned false positives for a housing development outside of Wilkes-Barre and a farm in England owned by the Queen; the very few articles that could have been hits described nothing more than a farm. –dlthewave ☎ 18:40, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment: USGS maps show virtually nothing but a single road in 1892, 1899, 1924, 1943, 1947, 1956 and 1963. By 1969 a housing development started to appear, and by 1993 it looked about the way it does today. On Google's satellite maps, you can see that there is indeed a subdivision there, and not much else. An elementary school and police station to the north seem to be in Harrisburg (17110). If someone can come up with archive sources referring to this as a community, my !vote will be "keep"; otherwise, it will be "delete". jp×g 22:30, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, I found an article about it, but the language is puffery and the author's byline includes the title "Advertising Projects Writer", so it's clearly unusable for notability as just being early native advertising (it's also about a place near Shavertown, Pennsylvania, in the wrong part of the state. In fact, almost all of what I can find is for the housing development outside of Shavertown.  There's also some references to a British Royal family farm, and a reference to Windsor Farms in Richmond, VA.  All I can really tell for sure about this Dauphin County place is that it's a neighborhood in Harrisburg, and that's only through passing mentions in sourcing dating as far back as 1959.  So I guess delete this article, as this Dauphin County location is a neighborhood of Harrisburg with little-to-no significant coverage. Hog Farm Talk 04:16, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. The earliest mention of Windsor Farms in Dauphin County I can find are 1965 advertisements for lots, starting at just $100 (this would be quite a steal today, admittedly). There are some mentions in the 1990s of the Windsor Farms Homeowners' Association, but not enough to write an article. Nothing noteworthy that I can find.

 * Delete, per Firsfron's analysis of the archives and my own failure to find anything on the USGS topos. jp×g 10:53, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
