This seems to be a vague locale named from its proximity to Oatlands Plantation; there used to be an Oatlands Mill in the area as well. But I don't see any evidence of an Oatlands town. Mangoe (talk) 17:28, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per nom. There are over 2,000 pages in Category:Unincorporated communities in Virginia mass-produced like this one (and those in California) with only a single useless line sourced to the unreliable GNIS. List of unincorporated communities in Virginia is mainly CDPs but a redirect/merge of most of the non-notable Virginia places that have not been improved in the last decade to somewhere would be better than hundreds of individual time-wasting AFDs.
