Long-defunct sawmill magically transformed into an "unincorporated community" by the notorious Carlossuarez46. PROD was removed on the basis that several sources exist that mention this place (see article talk), but all of these very clearly describe it as a sawmill and not a community, e.g. [1], which was written contemporaneously with the mill. Mills are subject to WP:GNG or WP:NCORP which are categorically failed here, because all coverage is passing mentions, nothing significant about the mill could be found.

• Delete - I looked around for some sources, and they described this as a mill, not a populated place. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:04, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Not a legally-recognised populated place so not a WP:GEOLAND pass. Appears based on all coverage to be a place of business, and therefore needs to pass WP:CORP, which is failed due to only local coverage (see WP:AUD). I did consider whether the fire might be a pass for WP:NEVENT but it appears to be a WP:MILL event (literally!) with no WP:LASTING coverage. FOARP (talk) 10:34, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as per nomination, and all of the above. A sawmill is not a community by any stretch of the imagination. TH1980 (talk) 23:52, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
