Was likely just the western part of Warm Springs. I found a mention about water service to the village of West Warm Springs (https://www.newspapers.com/clip/89814412/notice-of-intent-to-request-a-release-of/), but no significant coverage. Note that having a place on NRHP doesn't mean automatic notability. wizzito | say hello! 20:02, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

• Keep. Evidence suggests that "West Warm Springs" was a distinct entity, at least according to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. From [https://www.dhr.virginia.gov/press_releases/three-state-historical-markers-to-be-dedicated-in-bath-countys-warm-springs-west-warm-springs/ this press release]:

African Americans, exercising newfound autonomy after the Civil War, purchased land here on the western slope of Little Mountain and established the community of West Warm Springs. Many early residents worked at nearby resorts, including the Warm Springs pools, or were skilled artisans and craftsmen. Central to community life were John Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church (1873), Mount Pisgah Baptist Church (ca. 1880), and the Jones School, which served Black students early in the 20th century. Webb’s Store (ca. 1900), restaurants, and a dance hall provided gathering places for residents. Descendants of the founding families have been instrumental in preserving the history of West Warm Springs.

Also, there's some information [https://www.dhr.virginia.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/008-5025_Warm_Springs_HD_2018_NRHP_FINAL-1.pdf in this NRHP nomination form]. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 20:09, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

• Keep per Ser Amantio. Seems to be a distinct community with enough coverage to write a short standalone article. –dlthewave ☎ 15:34, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
