Comment: This is currently at AFD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reynolds, Mendocino County, California). Expansion occurred during the course of the AFD, nominating based on advice at Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know#Question_about_the_expansion_in_the_past_7_days. AFD has closed as keep, so this is ready for review. Hog Farm _Talk 14:45, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

5x expanded by Hog Farm (talk). Self-nominated at 21:42, 4 May 2021 (UTC).[reply]

This article was expanded after being rescued at AFD and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts for ALT0 are cited inline, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. @Hog Farm: I am not approving ALT1. I find the final paragraph of the article mystifying, with talk of 50 campsites and a single campsite, and the introduction of a timber company, Rex Timber. When did the name "Reynolds Wayside Campground" originate, which area did it apply to and is the name still in use now? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:02, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Cwmhiraeth: - Working on this. I've clarified the 50 campsites vs 1 campsite phrasing, and connected Rex Timber to Georgia Pacific, who is introduced earlier in the article. The name being still in use should be covered by the second-to-last sentence of the article. Still working on addressing the rest of this. Hog Farm _Talk 16:30, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not finding coverage about the giving of the name, although I did cite an official US Government map which labels the place as "Reynolds State Wayside Campground" in 1969. This is one of the more obscure CA state parks, so it'll be difficult to find freely available sourcing for more details on this, I'm afraid. Hog Farm _Talk 16:47, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks. I guess the name Reynolds Wayside Campground was used before the decision to disallow camping, and nobody changed it afterwards. Approving both hooks, with a preference for the original one. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:21, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
