No Mirage, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Looks like more WP:GNIS-type stuff. The GNIS entry says that the coordinates are unknown; the entry is sourced to an old postcard. Can't search topos if I don't know where to look. Google books isn't bringing up anything useful. When I searched newspapers.com, refining to Imperial County, I just got hits about desert mirages. When I expanded it to the whole state, I got hits for desert mirages and Rancho Mirage, California. No indication that WP:GEOLAND is met, and WP:GNG is not, either.

 * delete I found two hits that associate the place name with Ocotillo, which is in the right county. Neither of them describes it, and my impression from the one is that it may have been a failed real estate development. At any rate being able to do no more than verify that it probably was a place name is a bald failure to meet WP:GNG. Mangoe (talk) 17:32, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: per nom, fails GNG and NGEO. Imperial County historically has been filled with tiny temporary spontanious communities.  // Timothy ::  talk  16:32, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
