Not an unincorporated community but rather an intersection along Braddock Road straddling Bull Run and Chantilly, Virginia. WP:BEFORE pulls up nothing useful. Waddles 🗩 🖉 22:08, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The sole supporting source in the article is a GNIS computer database record, and that is false sourcing, as the original feature class for that record was "locale", not "ppl". There's no source for this being a community, unincorporated or otherwise, nor even a populated place of any sort. No source for all of the material in Special:Diff/518903976 has been proffered, and the Virginia Department of Transport WWW site turns up nothing for a "Schneiders" or a "Schneider's" and its search engine results break for "Schneider" although the titles returned seem to indicate completely different roads and places to this one. This is at best road junction work that is unverifiable by me from VDOT records, and at the moment worse than that a completely fictitious "unincorporated community" with false sourcing.

delete Well, Cox Farms is certainly there (started in 1979 as an outgrowth of the the original Vienna VA site), and the roundabout got built, but it's still just a intersection in a still rural part of of No. VA. Go back into the past, any way you like, and there's simply nothing there. It's just not a notable spot/locale. Mangoe (talk)

Delete I don't think you would be able to find any hits if it hadn't been for other sites repeating the GNIS record. Kill it.James.folsom (talk) 23:02, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - this is a basically a strip mall: "little more than a florists' and a site called Cox Farms." Totally run of the mill locality. It badly fails my own long time standards. Bearian (talk) 15:30, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
