D Flourney, California

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails the notability guidelines for geographic locations, specifically bullet point 2 of WP:GEOLAND. A google search of turns up no results other than this article, autogenerated webpages using GNIS data, and irrelevant results (names of people, etc). Appears to be an individual farm whose name got entered into the GNIS database somehow. Wikipedia isn't an almanac or a gazeteer; we don't need sub-stubs on every name that exists in some geographic database somewhere, and as far as I can tell there's literally no existing information on this location aside from the GNIS coordinates.

This is one of hundreds if not thousands of similar articles within California alone, but I don't want to do any batch nominations until I've had a chance to sort through them all, figure out which others are non-notable for the same reasons, and save the ones that are in fact notable.

 * Delete Yes, one person mass-created 1000+ CA articles using only the GNIS without looking at the map or finding sources to establish either WP:V or WP:N. Individual and small-batch noms are inefficient and inappropriately shift the WP:BURDEN on challenging factual errors in these articles. This is a ranch, not a community, not even named on topos.

 * delete Name is from a forest service map, and given that every map and view shows a ranch here, it's safe to guess that "D. Flourney" was the proprietor at the time the map in question was made. At any rate, it's not a settlement or anything notable, though it is interesting to verify that there is a dirt strip (shown in one topo) for the small plane which can be seen in the GMaps view.

 * Delete Seems to be an isolated ranch. This is perhaps one of the worse examples of mass created stubs. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 00:09, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete along with Flourney, California, R Flourney, California and K Flourney, California which are other non-notable ranches that I'll nominate separately. –dlthewave ☎ 01:56, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't think an isolated land with no habitants is notable. - MA Javadi (talk) 16:50, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
