Big Meadow, California

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Next to a FS campground of the same name, old enough topos show a row of buildings, but aerials of the same era show nothing. The only source I could find was this, which claims that the area was the site of an early cabin, that it was eventually called Big Meadow Ranch for a time, and that "A summer home tract was surveyed in 1922, but a resort was never developed," which could explain the row of buildings. At any rate, that's the best I could do. Mangoe (talk) 19:16, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

 * DELETE per nomination it is JUST a neighborhood, according to this: [ I think real estate agents will advertise any neighborhood name they can find or make up, just to increase sales within the neighborhoods. [[User:Goldenrowley|Goldenrowley]] (talk) 21:04, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete It looks like Big Meadow was historically a vacation or summer home area; this article is about the first lodge opening there, and I found a few other pieces about people vacationing there (but not about anyone living there). The closest I got to a resident was this article about a merchant there, but a merchant is not necessarily a resident. If this was just a summer home area and not a permanent community, I don't think it clears the bar of notability without additional coverage.
