Purser, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This apparently was a ranch where there was a 4th class post office, possibly on the NCO Railway line. One gathers that when Wendel became a major spot on the line it made sense to move the post office there. At any rate, every reference I've found says either "ranch" or "post office".

 * Keep. It is a former community; Wikipedia is a gazetteer about these.  If the nominator disputes info stated in article, open discussion at its Talk page, and/or tag article for more sources. --Doncram (talk) 22:07, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * How do you know it was a real community? Mangoe (talk) 13:47, 23 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete Per WP:IINFO, WP:NOTTRAVEL, and WP:GEOLAND. KidAd   talk  00:19, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GEOLAND, as there's no evidence there was ever an actual, legally recognized community here. GNIS doesn't even have an entry for this. Hog Farm Bacon 14:45, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not in GNIS means it never appeared on any map. I can't find any claim that it was ever a community. Not notable. Glendoremus (talk) 03:42, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
