Desert Beach, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The only source is GNIS, though that has been obscured by maintenance edits. The only significant mention I found of it described it as one of a number of residential developments sprung up around the Salton Sea, and that's what aerials and topos show as well. I'm not seeing the notability. Mangoe (talk) 03:42, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - Rationale the same as every other California micro-stub: GNIS is not a reliable source, and GNIS is the only source cited here. FOARP (talk) 16:02, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Desert Beach seems to have a bit of history as a resort area. It was originally home to a large resort and an associated community of vacation homes, and hosted regattas on the Salton Sea; see  . The resort area flooded in the 1950s, which prompted quite a bit of coverage in Southern California newspapers; see     . While coverage of Desert Beach drops off after the flood, it's still described as an active community in at least one 21st-century story. All put together I think it sums up to significant coverage.

 * Keep per TheCatalyst31; the article needs to be expanded. Thank You-RFD (talk) 19:17, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to North Shore, California. Desert Beach is a part of North Shore (the part around Desert Beach Drive and the marina). The yatch club is now the North Shore Beach and Yacht Club.  // Timothy :: t | c | a  13:24, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
