Mass-produced stub with questionable GNIS source. Previously prodded with the rationale: "Gum Crossroads, Delaware" is not an unincorporated community in Delaware. It is an intersection in the middle of farmland with no houses around. An intersection is not notable. Geschichte (talk) 13:34, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There's a couple houses down the road, but I'm pretty sure they're just rural farm houses and not part of a community. I would say keep if there was some sort of general store or gas station with the name, a trace of a post office in this location, or any sort of small collection of houses centered around the intersection to form a legitimate community, but its just a general intersection of country roads and there's not even a label for it on Google Maps.

delete The few houses are shown in aerials to have been built in the last 25 years or so, and are jjust randowm;y shoved into the forest. Other than that quadrant, it's just farm fields. Really, the PROD message should have been cause for taking a second look rather than blindly trusting a listing. Mangoe (talk) 18:50, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as a useful navigational aid for Sussex County, Delaware. USGS maps say that in 1917 nothing was there, in 1944 there were a couple houses nearby, in 1992 it was the same story, and a Google satellite map from today says that there really is not anything going on at the location in question, or immediately around it. Barring anyone coming up with news sources or books mentioning the area as having had some historical significance, I am forced to conclude that -- as the kids say -- this is "literally not even a thing". jp×g 09:10, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
