Seems to lack enough notability to justify its own article. Wild Wolf (talk) 22:03, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep/merge This and other locations at the battle of Gettysburg are documented in numerous works such as Gettysburg: a battlefield guide. Whether they should be split into separate articles or be sections of a larger article is a matter of ordinary editing not deletion per our editing policy.

Delete A single artillery shot from this spot does not make it notable. There must be hundreds of places on the Gettysburg battlefield where artillery fired from, as well as hundreds of places on other Civil War battlefields where a battery fired the first artillery shot of the day. 76.7.231.130 (talk) 01:18, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

~~Keep.~~Keep/Merge. It is identified as a place name by a reliable source. Such gazetteer content is not restricted by WP:N. Tens of thousands of long-existing Wikipedia articles could be deleted by applying WP:N to them in its 2012 form. patsw (talk) 16:01, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I've read several books on Gettysburg and I've never seen this place mentioned at all. Don't see why we need a seperate article on this place. Mad Man American (talk) 16:44, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I live about 30 miles from the battlefield, and have visited it dozens of times. Never have I recalled the significance (or even existance) of this hill. A mention of it in the Gettysburg battle article is good, but it doesn't need a standalone article. Them From Space 18:33, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - into Gettysburg battlefield. The question here is not whether Wikipedia should discuss this hill or not... the issue is whether it should have a stand-alone article devoted to it. Information is best presented in context... the existence of this hill is trivial, except in the context of the civil war battlefield. Placed in the context of the battlefield it is worth mentioning.
