Scranton, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Appears to have been a railroad station on the Tonopah & Tidewater, with no associated community. Topos show a spot that appears when the railroad does, with a well and one or two buildings. It's marked as only the former site by the time the railroad is gone. Newspapers.com brings up no indications of a community here. This is referring to a station named Scranton which seems to be in this area; it's the most direct mention of this place I can find. Don't see a way this is notable.

 * Delete. No post office. Searching newspapers.com is tricky because Scranton was a governor and is a place in PA.  Searching for "Scranton Inyo in California" yielded nothing about the place.  Searching for "Scranton Tonopah Tidewater in California" found a number of articles about Scranton being a station, so WP:STATION applies.  Searching GBooks for "Scranton Inyo" has hits for shipping, but nothing that indicates there was a community at this location. As this location has no legal recognition and at best trivial coverage, neither #1 nor #2 of WP:GEOLAND are met.  Cxbrx (talk) 16:39, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
