Doesn't appear to actually be a "populated place" in any legal or factual sense. It appears to have been a homestead, but a homestead of one family does not a community make. It is in GNIS, but numerous locality AfDs have established that a GNIS entry is insufficient to meet GEOLAND. Searching in Newspapers.com produce references to it as a "tract of land" or an estate, which supports my assertion that it isn't a community.

PROD'd with this rationale a few years back, but it was de-PROD'd. The edit summary indicates that the user appears to have misunderstood my reference to GNIS in the above rationale. Came up in my watchlist again recently and I realized I'd never taken it to AfD. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 09:03, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I see that I tagged the article as 'unsourced' 12 years ago. As originally written 17 years ago, the article indicated that the area was a hammock (a natural area) that was in the process of being converted to housing and commercial buildings. A quick Google and Google Scholar search found nothing usable about the area. The lack of citations to reliable sources might have been acceptable 17 years ago, but the lack of any usable source means it is time for it to go. - Donald Albury 14:24, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Appears to a large tract of land or estate as described (somewhat sensationally) here when it was purchased by Edgar E. Brown in 1908. No evidence that this was ever a community nor that it received sufficient coverage to meet GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 16:52, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
