Eagle, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

PROD contested by. I didn't make my PROD clear enough, as it sounded like I was saying this was only a school now. What I meant to say was that there never seems to have been anything at this site besides the Eagle school. The topos show an isolated school here with no community around. Not in Gudde's California place names so far as I can tell. There's a GNIS entry for an Eagle School in Monterey County, but none for an Eagle community. Searching in Google books and newspapers.com is difficult due to the common nature of the name, but while I can find coverage for the school, I can find nothing suggesting a community at this site. There have been multiple instances of articles created by this same page creator claiming non-communities to be "former settlements", such as Articles for deletion/18 Mile House, California (a literal house) and Articles for deletion/Levee Spur, California. From my research, this seems to be a similar case: a non-community place sourced to the Durham book passed off as a former community. Another editor has managed to get ahold of a copy of Durham and has confirmed that many of these stubs sourced only to Durham misrepresent the source, which does not call them communities.

 * Delete The claim this is "a former settlement" or a "town" has no basis in the source whatsoever. Reywas92Talk 23:59, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
