A few spread out buildings and a church are nearby, but none with the name Sumer Hill. I don't think this is a community. wizzito | say hello! 01:40, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I wish GNIS wasn't down, so I could figure out where they pulled this name from. This name doesn't appear on pre-GNIS small scale topos, which don't show much here. Searching in the standard places brings up a passing mention to a subdivision near Lubbock and an elementary school near Clute, but neither of those are this place. Fails WP:GNG and no evidence that WP:GEOLAND is met. Hog Farm _Talk 02:56, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Weaker delete - I had the coords off originally, and thanks to Eastmain for finding what the proper name should have been. If kept, this should certainly be moved to Summer Hill, Texas. The 1984 USGS topo (first small-scale it appears on) has "Summer Hill", and the few sources found refer to this as such. User_talk:Txstateends#Sumer_Hill,_Henderson_County,_Texas is also telling. Unfortunately, that TSHA article is way too short to prop this up on its own, and the only other things I could find were a passing mention in an obituary and a 1936 reference to diphtheria shots being given out here. Most of the hits that appear are for that subdivision in Lubbock and a defunct school in Omen, Texas. Hog Farm _Talk 03:31, 23 September 2021 (UTC)Hog Farm _Talk 03:29, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This seems to be the same as Summer Hill (spelled like the season), described in the Handbook of Texas at https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/summer-hill-tx Another example of once notable, now a few houses and a cemetery but still notable. It's also a reminder that relying only on a present-day map can be misleading. Perhaps Sumer Hill should be moved to Summer Hill, Texas unless we can find evidence such as a post office name or railroad depot name that uses the single m spelling.

Keep and move to Summer Hill, Texas. The Handbook of Texas establishes that it was a community, although there are little more than a few houses now. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 12:24, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and move (the correct name, Summer Hill, can be found from the 1984 USGS quadrangle going forward). A newspaper search is confounded by other places with the same name (there are 3,207 results to sift through, few of them are likely to be about this place, and there are none in Henderson County). Nonetheless, sources exist, sources have been found, and sources have been added. While no buildings appear on 20XX topo maps, this is an artifact of the USGS transitioning to badly generated computer maps that omit many features (it shows up, labeled and with houses by it, in the 1948 and 1984 quadrangles). jp×g 23:41, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
