Ribier, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Topos show a mostly undeveloped siding, originally known as Rinter. Newspapers.com search makes reference to a "Ribier district" and a cotton gin at Ribier. I found a result for a Rabier Spur in Kern County, but not sure if its the same thing. Found a couple Gbooks hits calling it a point on the railroad and another mentioning the Ribier cotton gin. I'm seeing no evidence that WP:GEOLAND or WP:GNG are met. Hog Farm Bacon 05:30, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

 * delete It may have been a cotton gin at one time, but it's now apparently the packing plant for Happy Growers, a bok choy farming concern. The siding is still there (though likely unused) and a spur track still goes into the property. All this is shown on the topos as well, and they and Gmaps make clear that this was never the site of a community; it was and is completely surrounded by farming— mostly grapes, apparently, though the name suggests raspberries.

 * Delete Imagine being born into here. Grief. On WP criteria, fails GEOLAND. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 06:40, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:GEOLAND fail, just like all the other mass-produced California locale articles sourced to dubious sources. FOARP (talk) 09:24, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - was never a commmunity; fails GEOLAND/GNG; please tell me there aren't too many more of these, now that we're on 'R' and presuming there aren't any of these for other US states... Spiderone  18:34, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * - Unfortunately there are probably thousands more to go. I think the recent alphabetical run is just from people working through individual counties in California. FOARP (talk) 19:24, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I'm not really going in order. Hog Farm Bacon 21:01, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The A-D list was just former populated places. I think there's maybe 2/3s as many supposedly currently populated places. Mangoe (talk) 23:50, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
