Delete Nope, obviously just a river crossing, not too far from Tenmile crossing.
[1] I continue to be baffled how so many users created so many articles without doing the smallest smidgeon of assessing the veracity and notability of their content.

Delete. I'm baffled by that as well. There seem to be a huge number of such articles. Would it be too elitist to suggest that every new article needed to be approved by an administrator before it could be published? I'm not suggesting an in-depth study for every new article, just a quick check.

Did you see the
map? The user-submitted burial site is several miles West of the place we're talking about. The fivemile crossing is an unusual way to refer to a community but a common way to describe a place where a road crosses a river. –

Delete - Best I can find is
this passing mention to the subject as a river crossing, although there seems to be some sort of minor archaeological site in the general area. Even if the archaeological site is notable, it's a separate location and a separate article subject. I don't put much faith in that Find A Grave link - it doesn't directly associate the unnamed cemetery with the river crossing, and doesn't even work as indication of a community. Could as well be an old family plot.

Delete - Appears to be a river crossing that's used as a local landmark. Newspaper results are mostly road construction reports or things that took place "South of Fivemile Crossing" etc. Not a community, fails

WP:GNG. –

Delete. Search results are useless and newspaper results turn up very little; there are only thirteen of them, all of which seem to refer to it as a landmark rather than an inhabited place. The closest thing to a place name I could find was this
relevant clipping by some Newspapers.com user named "Hog_Farm" (seems like a diligent fellow, perhaps we should invite them to start editing Wikipedia!) jp×g18:50, 28 September 2021 (UTC)reply
