The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Gadsden County, Florida. Well, it seems like nobody here has found any substantial sourcing for the topic that could meet WP:GNG and it's not clear that WP:NGEO would apply either. With respect to The Grid's argument, if some evidence of this place's notability comes up we could revisit the close. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 07:57, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm proposing a deletion and redirect to Gadsden County, Florida as I can't find any reliable sources that talk about this community and it doesn't appear to be notable as a standalone article. I boldly redirected but the creator has objected. tl;dr fails WP:NGEO. Praxidicae (talk) 11:39, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No mention of this place on GNIS. The article links to a map, but there's no mention of this place on any of the maps. The links in the article are either dead, or don't mention this place. I tried to speedy delete this article thinking it was a hoax. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:49, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and/or Rewrite - The description of this community seems to place it north of both Quincy and Gretna, which means the geotag for it is wrong. The dead links in the article are proof that the internet is not forever, but we can always try to archive them. -------User:DanTD (talk) 12:52, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I looked in hard sources too (books, newspapers) and found very little about this St. John Florida, it's just a small community, basically a community association. Praxidicae (talk) 12:56, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Slightly, off topic, I looked at some maps of Gadsden County, Florida, and I found a lot of communities that were excluded from the navbox. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 14:15, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - This is an interesting publication I found that was on the county's website through the Internet Archive: [1] - page 6 has a passing mention of the city of St. John and this pertains to US 90. Strangely the description: Mt. Pleasant borders the cities of Gretna and St. John, Florida, as well as Chattahoochee. Looking at Mount Pleasant, Florida, the second sentence in the lede paragraph was added by an IP user in 2010 (well, it might be the account here as well looking at the edit history). The guide looks to be something official by the county here. Maybe it's a former boom town given this is the county where people bought Coca Cola shares when they were cheap (and before its popularity). I'm assuming good faith editing and there has to be something there. – The Grid (talk) 21:21, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
