St. Francis, California

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article does not have any sources. A google search shows that none exist in google.books or articles that refer to "St Francis California". Standard reference books do not mention it. The last sentence is ridiculous, [, St. Francis still legally belongs to the Californian DelValle family and their many American descendants] demonstrating the author was not serious in the first place...he has a record of weird POV edits based on imaginary history (as in Charles Sumner and David S. Terry which have been quickly reversed) Category:  verifiability (WP:V). Rjensen (talk) 02:03, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete This is an unreferenced example of original research and tendentious POV pushing, translating the name of an historical Spanish land grant into English, which no one else has done, because the writer has some sort of grudge against a city of about 200,000 people. This must be removed from this encyclopedia promptly.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  02:51, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect and Protect to Rancho San Francisco. Doing a name translation like this is just plain silly. Hasteur (talk) 17:26, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. A POV content fork. I do not favor a redirect because "St. Francis, California" can just as readily apply to any number of other potential targets: Google Maps thinks it means a neighborhood of that name in Daly City, but it could also refer to the famous hotel in San Francisco, or for that matter to San Francisco itself, or to one of the many St. Francis schools by that name in the state, or the location of the former St. Francis Dam, or even the famous winery in Sonoma that doesn't have an article yet; and all of these, if we believe Google, are more likely targets for the search term than is this one. --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:22, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
