Machin, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not recognized by GNIS. Durham calls it a post office named after a California politician and local real estate developer. PO in existence from 1896-1904. There is a Machin Avenue in Novato. Not clear where the post office was located ("four miles north of Novato Ignacio"). No evidence that it was a community and nothing that would establish notability.

 * It was pointed out to me that Durham wrote "four miles north of Ignacio. Correction made. Glendoremus (talk) 16:15, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete When GNIS doesn't even include you, that's pretty damning. Clearly just a post office. Hog Farm Bacon 16:58, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * delete If Durham says PO, and he's the only source, I don't see keeping this. The location indicated seems to be a largely swampy area just east of Novato with a few scattered buildings. Mangoe (talk) 19:40, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
