  • Comment: I was surprised to find that there isn't a subject-specific notability guideline for communities. As it stands, I'm unsure if this meets WP:GNG. The first source is good, but the other three sources appear trivial. You have an insane amount of articles approved, so I'm sure you know that. A quick Google search on my end didn't show any contemporary coverage, sadly. ThadeusOfNazerethTalk to Me! 17:03, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
User:ThadeusOfNazereth the guidelines is WP:NGEO. This long extant community where at least one prominent figure grew up and where historic schools and churches are located seems to clearly meet it. FloridaArmy (talk) 18:51, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
