Keep. This article talks about the community's history, but spells its name as Pinehill. Many Texas communities have shrunk over the years. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 02:56, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The Handbook of Texas places the community "eleven miles east of Henderson in far eastern Rusk County". Since Cherokee County and Rusk County seem to be adjacent, I think the place listed by GNIS in Cherokee county is the same one that the Handbook of Texas describes, and that the community straddles the county boundary.

Keep Real community per Handbook of Texas, which notes it once had a population of about 100 and a post office. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 20:18, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. While the sources that have been found so far seem sufficient, I'll add to them: there's a 1873 announcement of its incorporation as a town, an 1874 fire which destroyed a sawmill there, and a very detailed 1883 profile of the town. I've added these to the article, which now looks like it stands at eight sources. jp×g 23:54, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
