Vinland, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A 1950s era topo shows Vinland as the location of a siding going into a winery, and a somewhat later aerial shows the same thing. I have no idea who the proprietor was: the complex is still there, and has been added on to with other ware houses, but the tank farm itself isn't labelled in GMaps. At any rate, Leif Ericsson didn't sleep here, nor did anyone else; it's not a notable location. Mangoe (talk) 22:55, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete No post office.  Searching GBooks and newspapers.com is hampered by the Vinland Park and Vinland Elementary School in Fresno County and the Vineland Elementary School located elsewhere in Kern County.  However, I did not find anything for Vinland, Kern County other than shippers references.  Looking at historic topos, the 1954 McFarland Quad shows "Vinland" with the annotation "winery".  Searching newspapers.com for "Vinland Winery in California" finds a location in Sonoma County.  Searching GBooks for "vinland winery" (with double quotes) finds the same Sonoma County winery.  A bit of possibly WP:OR indicates that the tanks are similar to those of the ASV Winery down the road.  Searching Google for "wine pond rd mcfarland" finds a couple of wineries very close to this location.  My guess is that this locale was a winery that was started before 1954.  As there is no legal recognition of this locale as a community and there is virtually no coverage (trivial or not), neither #1 nor #2 of WP:GEOLAND are met.
