This place doesn't seem to exist. Neither the Lancaster County website nor Census.gov lists it. The latitude and longitude given when the article was created pointed to Pittsburg, South Carolina, suggesting it was created by mistake. —Mrwojo (talk) 00:43, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: I perused some 1950-60s USGS maps online and didn't see any Pittsburg in Lancaster County, though I suppose its possible I overlooked it.--Milowent (talk) 14:55, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I did find a Pittsburg, Lancaster County in the GNIS, but it's only a locale, and locales aren't usually notable enough for articles. But Pittsburg does appear to exist. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 03:35, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, thanks, I should have looked there too. Those coordinates pinpoint a spot north of Pittsburg Valley Road, and west of Pittsburg Hill road, in Manor Township. But a place called Pittsburg itself is not listed on the 1955 (photorevised 1990) USGS map I looked at[1] in that spot, and I am hard pressed to say this is a "town" because there is no concentration of residences on the USGS map. I found one reference to a local resident referring to "Pittsburg Valley" in public town meeting notes at manortwp.org. If there was a place to merge this article into it would be Manor Township, but there's nothing worth merging.--Milowent (talk) 05:52, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to containing administrative division. --Polaron | Talk 15:52, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Manor Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania per Polaron. Locales aren't really notable enough to have articles, but this place does appear to exist (per the above evidence, plus a "Pittsburg Valley Road" and some houses in an aerial view of the coordinates), so it should probably be redirected to the jurisdictional article.
