Roscoe, Lassen County, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

In an effort to see how much work can be put into deleting a spot which is not on maps and which is only cited to a source which has been fairly consistently misrepresented as to its characterization of the places whose names it discusses, we are now back at AfD after not considering it on the first round and denying a PROD on the basis that it was discussed in an AfD. The reason we have started PRODding these is that spots in California sourced only to Durham have almost without exception proven to not be settlements. There's no reason to think this is a settlement either, and there's no other route to meeting notability, or even probing that was a real place of any sort, except that someone produces real documentation of it and its nature. Searching produces all the usual clickbait and mirrors, and a bucketload of false hits, but not a single hit about a place in Lassen County, and a post office isn't enough in the era of 4th class post offices in peoples houses. I have now typed several times the number of words in the article itself, and that's several more times than we should have had to waste on this noplace. Mangoe (talk) 06:09, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete Should have been deleted the first time around at AFD. Durham mentions "Roscoe post office" under the entry for Madeline, without saying it was a settlement. Reywas92Talk 19:09, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:V and post office amounts to nothing. Geschichte (talk) 19:23, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
