California Camp, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Well, the single source isn't Durham this time, but that source is significantly misrepresented here: it does say that it was a ranch, but it does not say anything about a settlement. Indeed, the only other information given was that it had a landing for boats, and that it was 74 miles from Yuma. I cannot find any other reference that I can clearly tie to the place, much less one that says anything significant about it. A ranch mentioned in passing clearly fails WP:GNG.

 * Comment - Honestly, I don't know why these California stub articles are getting mass deleted. Even if they might not be notable, I think we are just disconnecting API data to Google Maps. 🔥LightningComplexFire🔥 20:01, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * , if you haven't read WP:GNIS, then do so. If you have read it and still don't understand, well, at any rate I have no obligation to scrape GNIS for Google. They can pay someone if it's important to them. Mangoe (talk) 22:05, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * That's the point! Why would we want to be giving false or non-notable articles to Google? Why do we care about some random ranch? The only source here says only "For nearly sixty miles above Rood's Ranch there were only occasional woodyards and a couple of ranches with landings called California Camp and Drift Desert." so why should Wikipedia or Google be sharing the lie that this is "now a ghost town"? The real question is why all these California stubs were mass-created without a thought for WP:N and WP:V. This one wouldn't be used in Maps anyway (thank goodness) since it doesn't have coordinates!

 * Delete: GEOFEAT points to GNG for places without legal recognition and this does not have multiple IS RS with SIGCOV.  // Timothy :: t | c | a  13:53, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: I like to save articles like this after Reywas92 shakes his fist at the wikipedia clouds (even if occassionally warranted), but I can't find anything on it.--Milowent • hasspoken  19:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - A ranch that we don't even know where it was located. Fails WP:GEOLAND and WP:GNG. Hog Farm Talk 15:38, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
