GNIS calls this one a post office, and states that it's exact location is unknown. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this doesn't appear on topographic maps, or in county histories, on in the 1981 USGS listing of West Virginia places (all of the Two Lick Runs there are streams in other counties). Possibly a minor stream of this name in the county, but the claim of an unincorporated community seems to be decidedly false, and the claim of a post office is barely verifiable. All newspapers.com hits are for minor bodies of water. Even if the stream does turn out to be notable, WP:TNT would apply, as the entire contents of this current article is decidedly false and any claims of a community are WP:OR as GNIS doesn't even call it a populated place.

  • delete Both Google and the topos agree that the stream running through Tesla and down to Little Birch is named "Twolick Run"; the areal between them has a more or less continuous scattering of houses along the road, at any era one wishes to look at the maps or aerials. There isn't any specific cluster I could identify with a town of Two Lick Run, but it hardly matters: we have no testimony that says this is a settlement, and it's possible that this post office is a predecessor name for one of the two towns. Fails verification, it does. Mangoe (talk) 02:04, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
