Doesn't look like this passes WP:GEOLAND. Topos show a loose scatter of three buildings generally near a railroad track. Not in a book of West Virginia Place Names. No newspapers.com results. This calls it a locale, which generally fails WP:GEOLAND. Other Gbooks mentions are passing mentions, including one where a Union Army soldier shot himself in the leg trying to cross the river. I'm not seeing a WP:GEOLAND or WP:GNG pass here. Hog Farm Talk 18:36, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

- Speedy delete The West Virginia Geographic Names (and other such USGS publications) are much more accurate and it's unclear how errors were introduced in the online GNIS. There's no evidence this is a notable community. Reywas92Talk 19:20, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - I found nothing notable or of significance for Corder Crossing, West Virginia. Examples of representative searches are:
- I. Google Scholar - some searches
- A. " Your search - "Corder Crossing, West Virginia" - did not match any articles,"
- B. " Your search - "Corder Crossing West Virginia" - did not match any articles,"
- II. JSTOR - "No results found"
- III. GEOREF - "Your initial search query did not yield any results" Their SmartText Searching did not yield anything either applicable or useful.
- IV. Google Search and Google Books - I found the same class of passing mentions that Hog Farm reported. The sparse mentions are in the context of the Westmoreland silt loam (soil survey), a coal tipple, same Union soldier, and inconsequential matters. There is a lack of anything significant enough to pass WP:GEOLAND or WP:GNG. Paul H. (talk) 04:21, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
