Sylvandale, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The only search result of any use refers to it in passing as a "road station"; I still have no idea what that means, but it suggests a single facility rather than a town. Other than that, the topos refer to it as a "site", and that's it. No sign this was a community, notable or otherwise. Mangoe (talk) 04:05, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

 * It helps if one spells it "Sylvan Dale". Uncle G (talk) 09:00, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * ...and if one does, it appears to be a station on a former NWP RR line out of Willits. So, still not notable. Mangoe (talk) 04:52, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Not sure if this is the same thing, but "Sylvan Dale" is referred to as a planned resort in a 1902 brief mention in a Ukiah newspaper. Found another passing mention of Sylvandale as resort, as well as references to a saloon and a barn dance.  Some passing mentions to a Sylvandale School, but also a couple statements that an attempt to get a school district in Sylvandale was rejected.   There seems to be a modern subdivision (possibly in the Ukiah area) that is named Sylvandale but is unrelated to this historic site. Hog Farm Talk 19:21, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The subdivision is definitely elsewhere. Mangoe (talk) 21:48, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
