Gepford, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

According to the topos, a siding on a long-abandoned ATSF line. There's nothing there now beyond a couple of farms. Mangoe (talk) 00:59, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete Mass-producer negligently misrepresented the source: Durham says "locality: 7 miles north-northwest of Lemoore along ATSE Railroad", not that it is a notable community or settlement, as is obvious on the topo map. Reywas92Talk 03:26, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GEOLAND. Part of a mass article-creation campaign based on use of bad sources, and misstating what good sources say. Note to closer: I seriously suggest not relisting these California AFDs unless someone finds a good keep rationale as there's thousands of them coming down the pipe. Someone spent literally years creating tons of these articles and they all have basically the same problem: they rely on bad GNIS data and at most one other source (Durham) which they typically mischaracterise (e.g., Durham will say there was a single building at a location in 1870-something and the author wrote an article about a ghost-town at that site). A "locality" in Durham does not mean an inhabited place. FOARP (talk) 12:12, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: per nom, fails GNG and NGEO.  // Timothy ::  talk  15:08, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
