Bradford Siding, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No such place is marked on the topographic maps for the area, nor is there a GNIS entry for "Bradford Siding". Can't access Durham, so I don't know what he calls it, but stuff like this suggests that it's some sort of railroad feature, probably a siding. It's sometimes spelled Bradford siding, with that capitalization strongly implying a railroad siding. I can find no evidence there was ever an actual community here.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete - GNIS is often erroneous, and Durham's book is ultimately a listing of place-names, not necessarily a list of populated place. With no hits of any kind for newspapers, books etc. it just looks like this was simply a siding. FOARP (talk) 22:35, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. No post office. Not in GNIS.  Newspapers.com has a couple of railroad-specific hits for "Bradford Siding", so WP:STATION applies and this location has no non-trivial coverage.  A History of Amargosa Valley states that there was a clay mill at Bradford Siding, built from an old submarine engine. JStor had no hits.  GBooks found one hit in The History of the Death Valley Region the same info in Death Vally and the Amargosa and some 1915 railroad references.  This location has no legal recognition and there is no non-trivial coverage so #1 and #2 of WP:GEOLAND are not met.  Cxbrx (talk) 17:59, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per all of the above Spiderone  22:26, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
