Delete - Fails GEOLAND #1 for lack of legal recognition, no evidence of GNG as the newspaper coverage etc. are solely passing mentions.
This appears simply to be the site of mills that were near the nearby village of Stonewall. Some may be inclined to !vote keep on this given the presence of a post-office. I remind everyone that post offices can be literally anywhere, even mobile, and are often simply co-located with stores/stations and so-forth, and as such are not necessarily evidence of a community, still less of legal recognition. If anyone can find any references for the village of Stonewall, I could alternatively see merging this there, but
Stonewall is also a GNIS stub.

Comment: I found one source and added it for the consideration of editors, that source says it was a populated place with 20 residents in the 1840s. Having dipped into some of these Virginia locality AfDs in the last year or so, I have been amazed to learn how rural much of Virginia is, with nary a town of any size in some counties. But this seems to be more than the crossroad articles that have been pared away in some counties.--Milowent • hasspoken22:42, 11 November 2021 (UTC)reply
Redirect; of only 85 newspaper results, all of them seem to have been covered by the nominator, and I am not seeing a lot of evidence for the necessity of a standalone article here. jp×g22:44, 15 November 2021 (UTC)reply
