Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Georgia (U.S. state)|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove links to other discussions ( prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Georgia (U.S. state).

Does not meet WP:ORGCRIT as lacking significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources. Lacking any secondary sources at all. AusLondonder ( talk) 14:39, 14 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Here we get a peek into the GNIS process, which actually appears to go back over a century. The post office, everyone seems to agree, was named "Amzi", but GNIS cites a Board of Geog. Names decision which is dated Jan. 12, 1897 in preferring Treadwell. Nonetheless, the name didn't appear on the topos until it was back-added from GNIS, and the latter claims that the source of all its info on the spot comes from ADC maps. I have a lot of experience with the latter (everyone around here used them for street maps before Garmin) and I wouldn't take them as terribly authoritative on this sort of place name— but also, if the name didn't get entered until 1993, what's with the 1897 decision? And where did ADC get the name from?

This leaves us with the 1900-era cyclopedia, which has come up before. It mentions Amzi, but I can't tell whether it also mentions Treadwell, because apparently only the fist volume (A-E) is available online. Again, we have the population figure which doesn't appear to come from the census. Amzi is called a "post-village", which could mean a place that's just a post office. And the authors seem unaware of the BoGN decision. My reading is that this is an area served by a post office, but without evidence that it is a distinct settlement.

  • There is a more thorough history, which explains why the name Smith Treadwell kept popping up and the whole Treadwell connection, at https://www.murraycountymuseum.com/book_01.html#CHAPTER_IV . It has the school, mill, shop, church, and craft fair. There's parallel coverage in various history books (and presumably contemporary newspaper reports given the citations) about Smith Treadwell's gravestone in the Treadwell cemetery in Spring Place, which weathered in an unusual and suggestive manner in the late 19th century.

  • Comment I grew up in the area, and am familliar with many people involved with that book (that Uncleg is talking about), It's practically self published, though. It's also probably about all your going to find history wise on Treadwell or Amzi. Probably not going to be enough sources to write and article. James.folsom ( talk) 00:16, 8 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • merge to the murray county article I added it to the list there. James.folsom ( talk) 00:20, 8 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Weak keep it has a stated population (though not apparently from a census) and name origin. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 19:21, 8 March 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Delete as not encyclopedically notable jengod ( talk) 17:32, 11 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting, no consensus yet. I assume the Merge target article is Murray County, Georgia.
