Ambrose, Contra Costa County, California

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Started as Ambrose Ranch and then the Ambrose station was created on the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe RR. The ranch land was sold to build an oil refinery. After WWII the the surrounding area was filled with suburban tract homes, none bearing the name Ambrose. An Ambrose Park and Recreation District was donated by one of the wealthy housing developers. So, the name has some history as a locality but doesn't seen that anyone ever considered it a community. Area is now a census designated place called Bay Point. I don't think it's notable as a standalone article but If folks prefer, we could redirect to Bay Point, California. Glendoremus (talk) 20:57, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Bay Point, California or delete. Ambrose has no legal recognition as a locale (GNIS does not count) - no post office.  No non-trivial coverage.  I found no references for Ambrose being a community in Google Books.  In newspapers.com, I found some trivial references where it was claimed that someone lived at Ambrose:, , .  Google Books and newspapers.com also had reports about an Ambrose school, Ambrose Park and Rec. and Ambrose Park.  Ambrose Park is not very close to the GNIS location of Ambrose siding.  I don't have strong feelings that this should be a redirect, but by redirecting instead of deleting we might prevent the article from being recreated.  Also, Bay Point, California covers Ambrose Park.  Cxbrx (talk) 02:35, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
