Notability[edit]

This article may not meet the requirements of WP:GNG. It is a "populated place without legal recognition" (cf. WP:GEOLAND) for which there is no significant coverage in reliable sources. Aside from the sites that automatically generate an entry when you search for a name, and various clones of Wikipedia, the only evidence I have found (not necessarily from reliable sources) that Dalkeith exists in Gulf County are:

  • A 1945 map showing some scattered buildings in the area. - "Dalkeith, Florida, 1945". Maps Etc. Florida Center for Instructional Technology. 2008.
  • A Gulf County park named for the place. - "Dalkeith Park". Visit Gulf County. 2022. Retrieved April 29, 2022.
  • A voluntary fire department. - "Dalkeith Voluntary Fire Department". 2022. Retrieved April 29, 2022.
  • A Baptist church. - "Dalkeith Baptist Church". Northwest Coast Baptist Association. Retrieved April 29, 2022.
  • A spring monitored by USGS. - "Dalkeith Springs". USGS Water Resources. Retrieved April 29, 2022.

  • A drug bust in 2021. - "Breaking Granny: Couple Charged for Running Drug Operation Out of Dalkeith Camper". Shore News Network. October 16, 2021. Retrieved April 29, 2022.

While these sources establish that Dalkeith exists, I do not believe that they establish notability. - Donald Albury 20:54, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not that it's worth anything, but I've been to Dalkeith, FL.
The entry for Gulf County, FL lists Dalkeith, and cites a 1981 publication "Florida Geographic Names" which lists it as a "locale."
The National Weather Service includes "Dalkeith" in its announcements, as a tornado warning in the Port. St. Joe paper records. A search of the newspaper finds a dozen or so references to Dalkeith, almost all concerning the volunteer fire department.
The place name is noted on this 2004 Michelin map, map page 6, D-3, just of route 71 on the Central side of the time zone border, as well as in the 2006 Atlas of the United States, page 67, inset for the panhandle, column 3, right on the border between rows "A" and "B" over the word "Gulf." 85.226.231.87 (talk) 19:55, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
