Fails WP:GEOLAND. This place does appear on topos and has a GNIS listing, however the coordinates listed appear to lead to a single building. Searching brought up no relevant results. I couldn't find anything that suggests that this was ever a community. ColinBear (talk - contributions) 13:34, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete Given that the GNIS source is Frederick County Maryland Genealogical Research Guide it's quite clear that this is simply the name for an old house/estate. No topo shows anything beyond a driveway leading to said house. I don't see a NRHP article under this name, so it is apparently not notable as such. Mangoe (talk) 14:07, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Braddock Heights, Maryland, which this seems to be an old name for (as described in the section there and confirmed here.) This does suggest that the Fairview Braddock was technically known as Old Braddock, but Old Braddock and Braddock Heights were very close and seem to share some history, so the redirect seems appropriate IMO.
