Loudoun County, Virginia seems t be in better shape WRT dubious placenames, but this one isn't proving to be anything more than a locale, if that. Union Church, which is still there, shows up on the maps from the beginning, but it was and is an isolated chapel. Sycolin appears relatively late, a bit to the south of the church, at a T intersection with a very narrow lane. The thing is, there's almost nothing there: a few houses, at least one of considerable age, but nothing that says village. And that's also what the topos show. Searching mostly gets hits for the creek of the same name, where someone did something in the Civil War, guaranteeing bucketloads of irrelevant hits. Mangoe ( talk) 04:06, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
- 'Delete Found a reference to a home demonstration club of Sycolin here, as well as a couple references to someone "from" Sycolin being killed in a car crash. Everything else I'm finding is for the creek or Sycolin Road, except for one hit about a Sycolin tribe of Native Americans. I'm seeing no evidence there was ever a legally recognized community here, so WP:GEOLAND is not met. WP:GNG certainly is not met. Hog Farm Bacon 04:27, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
