Riverview, Fresno County, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

What "still shows up" on the 1923 topo is a single building, apparently at the end of a long driveway; some of this still shows up in the 1960s aerials, when the country club was be built, but there's nothing on any map that suggests this was a settlement beyond a single farm or the like. Searching turns up nothing; the name is too generic and most hits are for developments which apparently were elsewhere. Mangoe (talk) 21:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Speedy delete Citation is this map (top left), which is no basis for a notable place. Reywas92Talk 19:14, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with Reywas92 that the Bullard 1:31680, 1921 Quadrangle is not evidence of a notable place for this item. I searched JSTOR, Goggle Scholar, and Internet Archive and found nothing of any significance like Mangoe. I did find a reference to a "Riverview, California" in a journal article. However, it is in reference to a "Riverview Highschool." Even that name is an alias used by a researcher to hide the school's real name and protect the student's privacy. Paul H.

 * Keep Meets WP:GNG. This refers to a town founded in the 1887 boom, it was fully staked out with over 1,000 lots sold but never actually got built. Discussed in detail in, (contemporary source here). If a merge target is desired I'd suggest Herndon, California as sources have the actual location of Riverview as being on the north bank by the railroad bridge opposite Herndon, which is just under three miles west of the co-ords given in the article.Pontificalibus 17:52, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete: per nom. Fails GEOLAND and GNG. The nom does a good job of researching these articles. No objection to a redirect if the closer thinks a suitable target has been proposed, but there is nothing here to merge.  // Timothy :: talk  16:42, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
