Rock Crest, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

These two places are in fact the same spot, on different generations of topos. To help confuse matters further. the road is named "Rock Crest Camp Rd.", and there are some references to the area by that name; on top of that, this spot is unrelated to the Rock Creek located elsewhere in the county. The big problem is working out what it is, as I can find nothing at that describes it. The topos show a tight cluster of buildings, which is consistent with GMaps, showing two rows of mostly identical cabins, with sheds/garages, in two rows. The obvious interpretation of this is that they are tourist cabins, and that the whole thing is a camp of some sort. But usually there is some business/organization connected, and I just can't find it. At any rate, the evidence as it stands is against this being a little town.

 * Comment - This sheet of community announcements from 1983 (click to read the OCR) describes people moving to Rock Crest and living there. This article describes children being bussed to the Injun Jim school who lived in Rock Crest. Better sourcing is needed but Rock Crest seems to have been inhabited at least at that point (i.e., 1950s-1990s based on the newspaper.com hits). I'd lean towards Rock Crest being a very little populated community based simply on the school-bussing coverage. However there's no evidence of legal recognition so that throws it to WP:GNG per WP:GEOLAND and it's hard to see it passing that. Rock Creek Camp on the other hand turns up nothing and I'm OK with that being deleted.FOARP (talk) 22:03, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
 * On reflection, flip to Delete. Both fail WP:GEOLAND. FOARP (talk) 09:52, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete. No post office.  Not in Gudde. Searching Newspapers.com for ' "Rock Crest" Plumas" does find a number of trivial hits like .  Here's a clip that suggests that Rock Crest was a power utility (PG&E) camp: .  It looks like PG&E runs the water system there: .  Having a water system is not sufficient for legal recognition, in California many water systems are operated by towns/cities/villages or corporations.  My best guess is that Rock Creek was/is a PG&E camp.  As it is not legally recognized and there is no non-notable coverage, it does not meet WP:GEOLAND and should be deleted.

 * Delete: per nom and Cxbrx, fails GNG and NGEO.  // Timothy ::  talk  14:52, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
