Ramada, California

Yet another Sacramento Northern siding, now vanished into the orchard the line sliced through. Not a community of any sort. Mangoe (talk) 13:01, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak delete - the only mention of a "Ramada" in Mansfield's more than 1,000 page History of Butte County, California (1918) is a mention of "Ramada Ranch". The 8th volume of the "Western Canner and Packer" from 1916 contains two mentions of Ramada. First mention: "Planting almonds at Ramada, Butte County: In the Ramada district of Butte County extensive plantings of almonds are being made as the soil has proven to be favorable." Second mention: " Prune plantings. ... Butte County: Preliminary estimates of planting in the district about Oroville indicate that at least 700 acres will be planted this year. The largest planting will be at Ramada, where it is estimated that three hundred acres will be planted." The only thing that gives me any pause is the mention of "Ramada district". That's most likely early-20th-century agrispeak for "in the vicinity of Ramada Ranch", but there's a chance it isn't so I'm weak delete for now, in case anyone turns up evidence that the "Ramada district" was a more widely recognized farming district and not just an ad hoc reference. But it is most likely that "Ramada" is nothing more than a ranch and a nearby siding that borrowed the ranch's name. &minus;&minus;&minus; Cactus Jack 🌵 00:02, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete as a non-notable locale. --Lockley (talk) 11:29, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - to CJ's point, district doesn't necessarily mean community. This one is not notable. Glendoremus (talk) 04:47, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
