Another non-spot in southern Delaware. There's one reference to a Dublin Hill Farms incorporation, and one reference to it as named after the Irish capital, but everything else is real estate and lists of place names, and the usual clickbait. Mangoe ( talk) 21:47, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
- Delete: Per the other nominations, and honestly, having taken a glance at some of the unincorporated communities in Template:Sussex County, Delaware, you can probably do batch nomination at this point. Curbon7 ( talk) 22:07, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

- Dough4872, WP:GEOLAND covers this. The Google street view shows houses, which means people actually live in this non-location location; however, it does not meet criterion 2 of GEOLAND ("Populated places without legal recognition") as it does not meet WP:GNG.

- This in interesting. It states Dublin Hill is not a town, village, post-office or way-station on a rail line ... Essentially, it's two short paragraphs saying that Dublin Hill is an unofficial rural neighborhood. 11 sentences here, it's essentially a tiny hill that may be the highest point in the local area. Gonna say delete on this one, although please ping me if better sourcing that what me and the nominator turned up, I don't think it can be argued that this meets GEOLAND. Searched in a few county histories on google books and this didn't even get mentions in county histories. A short piece in a local newspaper about a small hill that doesn't mention this being a community and a very short piece that says this isn't an official community aren't enough to meet GNG or WP:GEOLAND. Contrary to the keep !vote above's claim, appearances in GNIS do not give automatic notability, and GEOLAND #2 requires unofficial neighborhoods to meet GNG, and the best source I can find about this seems to indicate that this is an unofficial neighborhood.

- Delete Above comment is wrong, in no way, shape or form is anything in the WP:GNIS automatically notable. No indication that this is significant coverage about this neighborhood. Reywas92 Talk 14:18, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
