The result was Delete primary, NC on the others. Several people objected to the bundling, saying the others were probably notable. However, there seems to be consensus that the primary listing should be deleted. If anybody wants to take another look at the others, please nominate them individually, and I'd suggest that WP:RENOM shouldn't be a bar to immediate renomination in this case. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:14, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

There is no sign that this housing development meets WP:GEOLAND or our general notability guideline. – dlthewave ☎ 04:50, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Also nominating related articles by the same user, save some time – Reywas92 Talk 07:56, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- Calvert Acres, Maryland ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) subdivision across the street from it
- Asbury, Maryland ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – a single homestead not on '84 topo
- Pealiquor Landing, Denton, Maryland ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) River landing, not even a neighborhood
- Country Life Acres, Maryland ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) Subdivision
- Smith Landing, Maryland ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - river landing with "Smith River Road" leading to it. We're not in the business of having articles for every street on which people live.
- Anthony, Maryland ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - site of a former mill where there's now "Anthony's Mill Road", no evidence this is the name of a notable community [1] [2], not even on '57 topo
- Bureau, Maryland ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - as the article says this was a building not a community
- Delete My gosh that photo... here it is in Street View. This is not what was ever intended to have presumed notability, with subdivisions explicitly in Geoland#2...no sigcov found of course.
- Procedural keep unless the "related articles" are removed from this nomination. While Savannah Overlook doesn't seem notable, some of those other places do, and at the very least aren't modern subdivisions. Several of them appear on official Maryland highway maps ( Anthony and Calvert Acres on this one, Asbury on this one, Bureau on this one). Some of them have existed since at least the 19th century, and the only rationale for why they should be deleted is that they're named after a building that wouldn't be notable on its own.

- WP:GEOLAND specifically excludes maps from establishing notability. Where is the evidence that Anthony and Bureau were ever anything more than buildings that appeared as landmarks on maps? How do they meet our notability requirements for "populated places"? Bear in mind that these places are mislabeled as "unincorporated communities" (check the source) and the GNIS database that they were mass-created from has been down to contain many incorrect designations and should be backed up by other sources. – dlthewave ☎ 13:56, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah, these maps have lots of subdivisions on them, Country Club Estates, Hopeland Acres, a Riverview Gardens – doesn't represent notability! Where's the rationale that these are actual notable towns rather than names on a map? One that was likely made with the help of GNIS data? I don't really care how long something has existed – more time for something to have been written about it then! This is the United States, not some place without accessible English sources so yes we can demand better. Not to mention that not everything must go the same way so enough of this procedural nonsense. Reywas92 Talk 18:28, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete fails WP:GEOLAND#2 and no sigcov for this neighborhood. Lightburst ( talk) 20:59, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- Procedural keep - These nominations should not be bundled, as several of these places appear notable. For example, Pealiquor Landing, Denton, Maryland is described here as "the small town of Pealiquor Landing." Two other sources, [3] and [4] describe a farm at Pealiquor Landing called "Winddrift". This is clearly a populated place. Bundling all these dissimilar places into one AfD undermines the integrity of the deletion process, and violates WP:BUNDLE. There is a striking similarity to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chair Crossing, Arizona in which User:SportingFlyer, User:MB and another editor who has already commented here spoke about how unacceptable it is to bundle so many dissimilar articles.
