As the article admits, and Hoberg's book relates, this was an early resort in the area, which appears to have faded away by WW II or earlier. There's a single house now, and what appears to be something that was intended to be a retail building of some sort, so freshly constructed when the Google car came by two years back that the stickers were still on the windows. But it clearly is not a settlement, nor was it, and while it had a 4th class PO for a while, that was supplanted by Cobb overf a century ago. GHits for the resort are very slim, so not likely notable. Mangoe (talk) 14:08, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * It was expandable from Hoberg. Uncle G (talk) 15:32, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * A resort is not a settlement that meets GEOLAND, so it needs to hit GNG. A single source is not sufficient for GNG. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 22:24, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * It's a good thing that there were also sources already in the article when Hoberg was added to them, and further sources added after Hoberg, then. &#9786;  All that I pointed out was that it was expandable, which makes this a lot better than some of these "unincorporated communities" where we've found it difficult to impossible to even determine what they even really are.

 * Not much in newspapers.com - the telegraph line reached there in 1874 and a reference to the Silas Broadwell mentioned in our article being "of Glenbrook". Will need to search further in other places. Hog Farm Talk 02:39, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Wikipedia serves as a gazetteer, where an article for a small place like Glenbrook may be little more than the name and location. This article gives much more. The primary source for Kelsey Creek (Big Valley) notes its role as a historical stage stop, and also mentions it several times as a modern location. Two of the sources for Bottle Rock Power Plant similarly name it as a modern location. An early 20th century advertisement when G.W.R. Tredway was the proprietor called it "one of the most charming resports in the State. Fine scenery, hunting and fishing; excellent table." There may well be more material if we account for name changes. Tantarelli Springs was a site with natural fumarole activity in 1980, located at Glenn Brook off Bottle Rock Road in the Cobb Mountain Area. This may be in the present Mandala Springs resort, which claims origins as Glenbrook Resort. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:58, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
