Reynolds Wayside Campground (neé Reynolds, Mendocino County, California)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Another one where a common last name makes searching difficult, but I got lucky and stumbled across a state senate bill to "acquire the area west of the proposed U.S. 101 highway known as Reynolds Redwood Flat for the state park system." I also found another legislative report stating that "The Public Works Board recently purchased Reynolds Redwood Flat, famed resort in northern Mendocino County." This is consistent with the topos, which show a very tight cluster of buildings which disappears when the highway gets put through. The aerials are largely useless except to show how far out of step the topos are compared to the situation on the ground, but I did also discover that the state park is still there, although reduced in size after the interchange expanded. So, not a settlement, period, and in spite of the legislature I don't see any other evidence for the resort's fame. Mangoe (talk) 03:45, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

 * I knew that I had seen this before. I was poring over the search function only to find that it was on my own talk page.  See User talk:Uncle G where I found the names to look for and some dates. Uncle G (talk) 06:16, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * There's an updated version of Palmer's History of Mendocino County, California, not out of copyright so you won't find it in the Internet Archive like the others, that has Reynolds and the memorial park up to 1967, by the way. Uncle G (talk) 06:30, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

 * This is Reynolds Wayside Campground, a redlink at List of California state parks. This is the second Mendocino County "former settlement" to be a state park site, after this stub at "Lane Redwood Flat, California" that I was able to expand into the current content at Smithe Redwoods State Natural Reserve. I'll see what I can do here. Hog Farm Talk 13:12, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * - I have completely rewritten this to be about the redwood resort here and the current state park stuff, which has had some interesting stuff. I think this is now solidly at a Keep, but would like permission to move this page to Reynolds Wayside Campground, which is the best title.  This place was never known simply as Reynolds that I found, so the currently title should not stand. Hog Farm Talk 16:31, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * It's possible to do uncontroversial renames of articles being discussed at AFD, as long as one fixes up the discussion page mechanisms at the same time. Of course, that's the tricky part. &#9786;  Uncle G (talk) 17:26, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Frank W. Reynolds was a former county assessor and lumberman, you will find, and represented lumber trade interests on the board. Uncle G (talk) 17:33, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep as rewritten. Clearly notable. BD2412  T 03:46, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep after rewritgt, seems a notable place Eddie891 Talk Work 23:31, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
