This was a school, not a community (also, the name appears to be wrong). The only mention of Geveden in Rennick's Carlisle County book is someone's last name. The only Geveden mentioned in his index is a stream in Morgan County, on the other side of the state. The 1939 topographic map shows a "Cherry Geveden School", but other topos show nothing. Rennick's annotated topo has "Geveden N" handwritten at the site, but with no indication as to what it was. Searching for this place under the names Geveden and Geveden School bring up nothing except people with this last name, as the Gevedens appear to have been prominent in local law and politics. However, I did find this, calling it Cherry-Geveden School. Searching for Chery-Geveden School only yields me the above mention, and two more similar listings of the same sort. This place fails WP:GEOLAND, WP:NSCHOOL, and WP:GNG. Hog Farm _Bacon 18:03, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Seems to have been a short lived rural school. Fails WP:GEOLAND and WP:GNG 86.23.86.239 (talk) 20:16, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Best guess is that it was a short-lived school of some sort. Not a community and not otherwise notable. Glendoremus (talk) 23:55, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable school (at best) and fictitious community (at worst) per nom. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 01:34, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
