Annette, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

My guess is that this was once the Jenness Ranch, and that Annette was Mr. Jenness's wife or daughter, because it is abundantly clear from GMaps that this is and always was a ranch. If you "drive" by the place on Streetview you can see the cattle, and one of the later topos indicates the corral/loading facility which seems to be built to the latest scientific principles. Across the road from the house itself is the ruins of a barn, and that is what there is and mostly ever was to Annette, other than the 4th class post office somewhere on an earlier version of the premises. I also note that one of the earlier topos seeming labels every household in the larger area. Not a settlement beyond a single ranch. Mangoe (talk) 17:08, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete just getting a name attached to a place is not enough to make it notable. This was not a settlement or community by any understanding of the words, and a 4th class postoffice does not change that fact.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:17, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
