This is another one presenting searching issues due to the French and to scanning errors in the case of GBook hits, but it's another that was put on the maps after GNIS, and there is just nothing there except a rail line which isn't there anymore either. As the post office went away some years before the early 1900s (which, I would guess, is when RFD started in the area), that tends to argue against the importance of the place; at any rate, I found nothing even suggesting this was anything but a rail location.

- Delete or Redirect (as ATD) to Fort Wayne or List of neighborhoods in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The location on Google map shows an unnamed neighborhood or subdivision. The post office was apparently open less than two years. Any history that can be verified might enhance another article but a glorified dictionary entry is not encyclopedic. -- Otr500 ( talk) 07:04, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of neighborhoods in Fort Wayne, Indiana, as it appears to be within municipal borders. Djflem ( talk) 11:53, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
- Is there any evidence that anyone now or earlier considered this a neighborhood of Fort Wayne? I didn't see any.

- I didn't run across RS's on any history but the area is currently considered part of Fort Wayne. -- Otr500 ( talk) 13:27, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
- Added Notes: The best I could find is not likely reliable as a genealogy reference that states: Academie, township Washington, date 1874, ghost town, with the note; "Academie was located on the Lake Shore Railroad, but never developed". Added note; link is editor added for reference that a spur or branch line dropped south from the main line into Fort Wayne (likely much smaller in area), through the subject vicinity that could have been a water stop. While likely not considered reliable it is most probably accurate and furthers that a redirect might be preferable to deletion. -- Otr500 ( talk) 14:31, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

- Search aid. If one goes to Newspapers.com, searches for Academie, and limits the search location to Allen County, Indiana, they will find a number of articles about Academie, including a bunch of things about St Vincent's church in Academie, arrests, weddings and deaths, a school that opened in 1909, a saloon fight in 1882. Searching this way should facilitating cutting through the endless mentions of the Academie Francais and allow the researcher to make an informed decision on the notability of this subject under either/or WP:GEOLAND / WP:GNG.
