Norval, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Only appears on the 1944 topos, with no buildings at the site, possibly a point on the railroad. Newspapers.com only bringing up names and a Norval Station in Lassen County. Not mentioned in Gudde's place names book. I'm honestly not able to turn up any coverage that is unambiguously about this place, although I'm happy to be proven wrong. No idea what type of place this was, although the lack of coverage suggests a WP:GEOLAND and WP:GNG failure. Hog Farm Bacon 02:22, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. Guess what, no post office.  Yes, there is a, but that does not prove notability. Searching newspapers.com for "Norval Calaveras in California" and 'Norval "Southern Pacific" in California" found nothing.  Newspapers.com does find Norval Station in Lassen. Searching Google also found Norval Flat in Lassen.  Searching Google for 'Norval "Southern Pacific"' did find two railroad hits: , .  I believe these are in Calaveras county, but I could be mistaken.  I did find a reference to Norval Calaveras in Roster: Federal, State, County, City, and Township Officials (1968) - I'm not sure of the context.  The evidence points to Norval being a station, so WP:STATION applies.  There is no notable coverage of this locale.  There is no legal recognition, so #1 WP:GEOLAND is not met.  There is very trivial coverage, so #2 WP:GEOLAND is not met.  Cxbrx (talk) 04:05, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
