This one is a bit of a weird case. First, this article is an error. The coordinates in the GNIS entry point to a place near the city of Richmond, Virginia, which is not close to Richmond County, Virginia. It's either a duplicate of Manchester, Richmond, Virginia or Manchester, Chesterfield County, Virginia, but I'm not entirely for sure which (although I have a suspiscion it may be the former). Given that this claimed location is not in Richmond County (or particularly close to Richmond County), this should be deleted, as the entire one-sentence article content is false, and a redirect would not be appropriate, as "Richmond County" would be incorrect for either of the correct places.

  • delete Topos show coords for a rail location in the Manchester neighborhood. Plainly bogus. Mangoe (talk) 16:45, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It's possible this was created in good faith as the City of Richmond appears on various lists of counties due to being a county-equivalent and the situation can be very confusing for an outsider, but this is clearly not a real place. Smartyllama (talk) 19:46, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
