Tyee City, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Prodded, and then deprodded with "passes WP:GEOLAND". In my opinion it does not, since it's only a couple of farms outside of McKinleyville, California and not properly verified as being a settlement. Geschichte (talk) 16:16, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete WP:GEOLAND requires that a place either be "officially recognized" or meet GNG; this one is neither. There are a few mentions in 20th century newspapers but not sufficient to meet GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 18:27, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - I'm the guilty party who removed so many small-town-California prods yesterday (10 actually). Anyway...the nominator of this AfD mentioned there appears to be "a couple of farms", and it got me wondering...how many farms make a community? One?  Probably not (bye bye Monowi, Nebraska!).  Two?  Maybe.  indeed, I also see on Google Maps those "couple of farms", so maybe this is a populated place? GNIS (an "offical source") calls it a "populated place", and the criteria listed at WP:GEOLAND basically say it needs to be populated place to be notable.  It's all good then?
 * This Government of California publication calls Tyee City a "community".
 * The Mad River Union in nearby Arcata, California writes often of Tyee City:
 * Writing about fire services in the area... "The district provides fire service to the communities of McKinleyville, Arcata, Bayside, Jacoby Creek, Tyee City and Manila."
 * Writing about a park near Tyee City... "adjacent landowners and residents of Tyee City – a micro-community near the park...".
 * Here describing "scenic Tyee City". Magnolia677 (talk) 20:10, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Lol "micro-community". Don't misrepresent GEOLAND, which says it needs to be a legally recognized populated place to be notable (yes, incorporation as a legal municipality like Monowi counts!). Of course the breadth of this poorly drafted line has been debated, but you well know the GNIS's classifications are well-established to be crap and merely acknowledge it has appeared on a map at some point. But being a "community" or neighborhood–be it a subdivision or nearby farms–is not automatic notability. In this case there does appear to be enough coverage to satisfy GEOLAND#2.
