Lasco, California

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Yet another spot on the ex-NCO Railway line, the only indication I have of anything there is this Forest Service newsletter which states that there was a lumbering camp there in the e 1920s. Myrick appears to document the same, at greater length, but not being able to read the passages in full I cannot tell whether he says much more in toto. At any rate the evidence is that this wasn't a settlement; whether it is notable for having a lumber camp on the site, I will leave to others to discuss. Mangoe (talk) 03:02, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

KEEP - I found a writeup about this place and community here that I'll add a bit from, to improve the article with. http://www.tipurdy.org/camp-lasco/ Goldenrowley (talk) 18:22, 14 July 2020 (UTC)


 * I have come across Purdy's site several times of late. My problems here are two: first, it appears to be a self-published site, so I've been reluctant to use it as a source. Second, we're back to the issue of "not a town". Logging camps are, by their nature, seasonal if semi-permanent, and even Purdy's text doesn't make it clear how much the camp and the spot on the railroad should be identified as the same place. I'm more ambivalent about this case than some of the others, but realize that it's going to change to being "Lasco was a stop on the railroad where there was a logging camp for a time," which may fail to satisfy others' notions of what is notable, especially considering how one must stretch for sourcing.

 * You don't need to WP:SHOUT your vote, please. We can read the bold vote just fine. Reywas92Talk 19:50, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Seasonal logging camp, not a notable town/community. Reywas92Talk 19:50, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: I've done some work on the article, I think its a notable location, and its better to have this content in its own article instead of in a subsection of Lassen_County,_California.  While seasonal, it was populated for eight years, and families lived there. I don't have a newspapers.com subscription right now, but I do see the Lassen newspaper has some more articles on it that someone might add as references.  It is a notable part of the history of the region.--Milowent • hasspoken  21:13, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
