Skinner Mill Place, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The Tehama County school system has this convenient list of placenames and their origins which, if not strictly up to our standards perhaps, offers information about practically every place in the county we have an article on, and more besides. It explains a decided discrepancy in the topos, because the older ones call this area "Heitman Place", with "Skinner Mill Place" not appearing until the 1968 map. According to the document, Heitman kept goats, and Skinner replaced that with a sawmill in the 1940s. There's still a house on the location, but as usual it seems that "Place" means one person's property, and not a town. Mangoe (talk) 01:20, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Agree that the sourcing says this was only ever a lumber mill. Whilst we should keep an open mind about communities that may have been company towns (particularly mining communities growing up around mines - and then disappearing when the mines close) this doesn't appear to have ever been a populated community as such.

 * Delete No post office. JSTOR and Newspapers.com had no hits, GBooks had some rehashes of GNIS. No legal recognition, no coverage, so #1 and #2 are not met of WP:GEOLAND. Cxbrx (talk) 21:27, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: per nom, fails GNG and NGEO. No community and no SIGCOV about the lumber mill.  // Timothy ::  talk  04:59, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
