Delete - Looks like some form of a nickname for a local farm/art studio, although Wikipedia is extremely open to all geography articles this one does not seem like the case. A GNIS query results in nothing, so my thoughts are delete. -Marcusmax(speak) 02:04, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ehhh.... - Does look like there's some article that profiled the farm, but every old house/farm is not notable, even if an artist lives there. How about merging into Tyrrell County, North Carolina, unless article is fleshed out to show independent notability. Creator of article appears to be newbie and local to area discussed and shouldn't be discouraged.--Milowent (talk) 04:49, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There's a disambiguation article at Souhegan that has included for nearly four years the line "Souhegan, North Carolina, a community in Scuppernong, North Carolina". Agreed that geographical locations have wide berth, but then, if Souhegan, North Carolina, is a community, an article by this name should be about that community. —Largo Plazo (talk) 10:45, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, glad you found that. I'll try to do a little more searching. If there is anything we can find that supports the existence of this as a community place name, it should be kept. --Milowent (talk) 12:59, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the "Our State" article[1] - Souhegan there is only referred as the name of the farm, but that name must come from somewhere. Soughegan is also a variety of raspberry that got its name from an area in New Hampshire (which has a Souhegan river). I found an 1890 North Carolina Ag. Dept government publication from its "experimental" farm that says that Souhegan raspberries did well that year[2], but haven't found anything saying raspberries were grown in this location. Where else to go?--Milowent (talk) 13:19, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete since there is no such place as "Souhegan, North Carolina". I see this as an attempt to piggyback in on the rule that inhabited communities are inherently notable. However, from the article, "Souhegan is the name of a farm in Tyrrell County, North Carolina and residence of sculptor artist, Tom Kilian." Lots of people like to give a name to their farm or their estate, but I don't think this would pass as "Tom Kilian's Home, NC". Mandsford (talk) 15:26, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New info It says right here on the artist's website that location of his farm is Columbia, North Carolina. Considering as well that there are no supporting WP:GHITS for "Souhegan, North Caroina", I submit that it isn't a geographic location at all. —Largo Plazo (talk) 15:56, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the above investigations, it would appear to be impossible to write a referenced article on this subject Chzz ► 21:43, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, read through this article in all it's variations and nothing suggests any notability even the references and citations are moot at best RichardLowther (talk) 14:36, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
