Plasse, California

This is an object example of the messiness of the GNIS compilation process. Over a period of a decade and a half, the label on the spot changed twice, but only the last version in 1994 called it what it is: Plasse Resort. It was never called "Silver Lake", though that's what the USPS called the post office there (which is what the 1983 map says), and it was never a town called "Plasse". Unfortunately, GNIS recorded the name in 1981. There is a possibility that the resort itself is notable, but that's a different article. Mangoe (talk) 18:02, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Article is three sentences long and only has two sources, and does not establish why this locale is notable.TH1980 (talk) 04:14, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Based on my searches, it's probably on the maps because the Plasse ranch was there before the resort opened. "Silver Lake" appears to be a notable place based on early 1900s newspapers, difficult to tell if it's the lake but there are definitely mentions of people who go there.
