Rennick calls it a crossroads store. Topos show a small cluster of buildings. There are a couple newspapers.com results calling it a "community", but known describe it, the rest call it the "Do Stop" store. The store itself has an address in Caneyville. From what I can find, this has always been an informal neighborhood at a crossroads that formed around a store. Lacking any evidence of legal recognition, WP:GEOLAND is not met, and I don't think WP:GNG is, either. Hog Farm _Bacon 23:29, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. GBooks yielded very little, mainly entries in lists of strange place names. GBooks did find [1], which I added to the article: George R. Stewart commented that Do Stop was "one of the few hortatory advertising names to have received recognition on an official map." (Stewart was the founder of the American Name Society). Newspapers.com found a few articles about property sold in Do-Stop, property sold in Do-Stop and others. Newspapers.com found an obit. I agree that people lived there. I found no legal recognition of Do Stop, so #1 of WP:GEOLAND is not met. I found very little coverage and what I found was trivial, so #2 of WP:GEOLAND was not met.

Merge to Grayson County, Kentucky and redirect. Seems like it's not worthy of its own article per above, but, thanks to having sources, worth a mention in the county article. ~EdGl talk 18:38, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
