A federal gazetteer from 1909 refers to this as a "postal village", which appears to mean that it is nothing more than a 4th class post office, as a 1919 topo shows nothing here. And there still isn't anything specific other than sprawl from Millsboro. I do not see a notable settlement here. Mangoe ( talk) 20:42, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
- Keep per my rationale at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dublin Hill, Delaware. Dough 4872 22:15, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hi @ Dough4872: it would be helpful to me if you would expand on your rationale instead of referring to another AfD, or you could start a thread over at Wikipedia talk:Notability (geographic features). In particular, searching for GNIS in the archives might be of use. As Reywas92 states, appearance in the GNIS is not sufficient, time and time again we have found non-notable locales that are present in the GNIS but do not meet WP:GNG nor WP:GEOLAND.

- Delete The rationale above is false, there is not automatic notability merely for appearance in the WP:GNIS map name database. Needs significant coverage. Reywas92 Talk 14:24, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

- newspaper article here, detailing this had a post office, school, store, and church. Finding a few very local articles about the church's 100th anniversary in the 1970s, but I'm not seeing much else. That article is too short to be enough on its own. Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church (Bridgeville, Delaware) is elsewhere in the county, so that isn't the Trinity Church. I'm just not finding a whole lot here, so delete unless additional sourcing can be turned up I couldn't find. Hog Farm Talk 23:23, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
