Sage, Kern County, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

When the GNIS source is a large scale topo map, that is never a good sign, because it implies that it doesn't show up on smaller scale maps. And that is the case here, and the usual 1-to-24k maps have no label and show at first a single building and then add a water tank and various other buildings, in a configuration that changes considerably and which is unsurprising for an area that is barely out of town even in the oldest maps. Searching is well nigh hopeless what with all the sagebrush, but Gudde does show up, mentioning a "Sageland" mining camp from back in the 1860s which may or may not have anything to do with this spot. I'd say this fails verification. Mangoe (talk) 19:22, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. Searched JSTOR and Google Scholar using "Sage California" "Kern County" and "Sage, California" "Kern County" and found sage (sagebrush), Fort Sage, California, Sage Publications, and so forth, but nothing about a Sage, California in Kern County. These and other searches found a lack of any reference to a town / settlement of this name inside Kern County. Broader searches were impractical because sagebrush is all over California. Paul H.
