There is still a "Pleasant Hill Church" here, but that's all that appears in older topos. Somewhere around 1980 someone decided the spot needed to be labelled as a town, in spite of a lack of other buildings other than what turn out to be two very decrepit barns. Again, I'm not convinced this was a real settlement. Mangoe (talk) 23:53, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's another wholly unreliably sourced 1-sentence substub from sock-puppeteer Dragonrap2 (talk · contribs)/Hissrap18 (talk · contribs). This is an utter waste of our time. If they aren't claiming CDPs, or giving any non-GNIS information, all of these should just go. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 03:59, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - just a church on old USGS maps going back to 1948. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 21:21, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Does not meet WP:GEOLAND. As others have noted, this is simply a GNIS stub created by a sockpuppet. No notability here. Let'srun (talk) 01:13, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I went to the Bienville Parish Assessor's Office's GIS page. Using their "S-T-R" (Section-Township-Range) search option, I accessed the GIS viewer for section 10, Township T17N, Range R7W in which "Pleasant Hill, Bienville Parish, Louisiana" lies. The property lines and property owners shown are those of typical farm and timberland and there is a complete absence of the small commercial and residencal plots that would be associated with a hamlet, village, settlement etc. There is a complete absence of the roads, buildings, and other infrastricture that would be associated with a small settlement. The infrastructure seen are logging and access roads and numerous oil and gas well pads. There is clearly no settlement of any type associated with the Pleasant Hill CME Church. Paul H.

Comment The burden should be on the editor creating articles like this one to demonstrates that the subject meets WP:GEOLAND and general notability before it can posted instead shifting the burden to other editors to determine either that it does or not or even is completely imaginary.
