Summers, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The name does show up on the topos, early on, near a building which is likely still part of the ranch that occupies the site. The font on the map is Gothic, not Roman, which may indicate why the GNIS cite is to a DMA map rather than to the topos: someone in the first GNIS sweep may have figured out that this was the Summers place and not a settlement. At any rate, searching produced exactly nothing, so not notable. Mangoe (talk) 06:30, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - All indications are that this is a ranch, not a community. As an aside, the 1943 Packwood topo calls this place "Sumners". WP:GEOLAND is not met. Hog Farm Talk 15:47, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete In JSTOR, I searched for ("Summers California" and "Kern") and ("Summers, California" and "Kern") and recieved the response" "no results found". I also searched for "Summers California" and "Summers, California" separately on JSTOR and recieved just more than a couple of dozen hits. None of these had anything to with an alleged settlement by that name. Searches using ("Summers California" and "Kern") and ("Summers, California" and "Kern") yielded more hits on Goggle Scholar. However, there was nothing promising in regards to there being a settlement by that name in Kerns County or anything else of any significance. As expected, searching without "Kern" on Google Scholar proved useless in determing anything. If someone wants to keep this stub, the burden of proof should be on them to provide positive evidence of both the existence and significance of this entity as a populated place. As it stands, I agree with Mangoe and Hog Farm.  Paul H. (talk) 03:59, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per all of the above. Ranches and ghost towns are not automatically notable; they need sources. Bearian (talk) 18:49, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
