Buckeye Hill, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Another case for which Durham's book is the only source. Topos show nothing in the vicinity he describes, and I can't find any other source. There are references to "Buckeye Hill" as a mine but they are not in Calaveras County. Mangoe (talk) 03:48, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - I had slightly better luck finding information. Gudde says about the same thing as the article: Ohio people in 1849, although he does specify there was a store. But that's about it.  Not on the topos.  The only other coverage for Buckeye Hills I can find is for places in El Dorado and Nevada Counties.  Don't see how this can be notable. Hog Farm Bacon 04:32, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - No post office. GNIS has no Buckeye Hill in Calaveras county. There was a Buckeye Hill Mine, which might be in the same location and is not notable.  I agree that Gudde states that there was a store.  Tracking down "Jarman, Arthur, 1927, Hunts Hill, Quaker Hill, and Buckeye Hill: California Min. Bur. Rept. 23, pp. 100-101." might provide more information. Newspapers.com has a few hits for "Buckeye Hill in California", but they seem to be mostly related to mining and there was no evidence of a real settlement, other than a 1895 shooting.  As this locale has no legal recognition, it does not meet #1 of WP:GEOLAND.  The scant coverage is trivial and does not meet #2 of WP:GEOLAND. Cxbrx (talk) 15:44, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
