Not entirely convinced that WP:GEOLAND is met here. While not cited in this article, [https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=138:3:::NO:3:P3_FID,P3_TITLE:2565047,Gilgal%20(historical) here] is the GNIS feature ID link. It's sourced to the works of one Robert Rennick, but neither his [https://scholarworks.moreheadstate.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1047&context=rennick_ms_collection Carroll County directory], his [https://scholarworks.moreheadstate.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1149&context=rennick_ms_collection index], or his [https://books.google.com/books?id=3Lac2FUSj_oC&q=gilgal#v=onepage&q=gilgal&f=false finished book] mention a Gilgal as a community (two references to a Gilgal Road and one reference to "Gilgal Branch of East Fork Mill Creek" between the three). The name Gilgal does not appear on the topos at this point. Newspapers.com results are for the village in the Middle East, references to the Old Testament, a cemetery in Indiana, an obscure ACW battle in Georgia, and other irrelevant things. Found a few references to a Gilgal Baptist Church in Kentucky, but the obscureness of the associated geographic references (Bracken, Kentucky, Licking-Locust, Kentucky, or Lawrence Creek, Kentucky mean anything to anyone) prevents identification with this place. While I wouldn't be surprised to find out that there was something named Gilgal at this place at some point (there is a Gilgal Road), I'm not finding any indication that whatever was at this site met WP:GEOLAND.

- Delete: agreed, there are no historical records that identify this location. The Carroll County directory indicates a stream, not a community. Good research, Hog Farm --Whiteguru (talk) 09:16, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

- Delete: Does not pass WP:GEOLAND. Nobody so far presented any hard, positive evidence or proof of this entity's notibility. I have found such material lacking in Internet Archive, Google Search, Google Scholar, Google Books, JSTOR, and GEOREF. Paul H. (talk) 03:20, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
