This article has remained unsourced since 2013. I cannot find evidence that this is a notable place as it's not even included in GNIS. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 22:27, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Even valueless sites like Hometown Locator don't have anything about this place. I can find (low-quality) references to a Mount Zion in Linn Parish, but nothing about this place. Delete, complete waste of space. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 00:21, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I found the GNIS record: U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Mount Zion, Red River Parish, Louisiana But since (a) this is the product of a sock-puppeteer with a bad track record of (being gradually deleted) fact-free GNIS imports, and (b) the GNIS record says that this is from "The Greater Slidell Area Chamber of Commerce City Map" when Slidell, Louisiana is on the other side of the state making this look like an extreme GNIS error, or a highly erroneous map; any attempt to salvage this is an utter waste of our time.

Delete per Uncle G; the entries sourced to local Chamber of Commerce, real estate, etc. maps are some of the least reliable in the GNIS. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 19:34, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Google Earth shows nothing. Old United States Geological Survey maps going back to 1935 show nothing other than an isolated Mount Zion Church on the highway out in the country. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 05:13, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The coordinates pointed to the place in Winn County, but there is not much more at the Red River Parish location - a church and a cemetery, a few buildings nearby but not anything to verify this as a populated place. Peter James (talk) 17:42, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
