Wallace Center, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This one is quite the puzzle, because it initially shows up on the topos as a string of buildings on the west side of the road, and a larger and quite a bit denser cluster to the east, very orderly arrayed around a loop road. a 196 aerial may show a few of the latter in place, but the next aerial shows nothing there, and on a topo from the 1970s the whole east side area is blank. I am tempted to conclude that the east side area was the Wallace Center, and that it was some sort of facility which was closed and removed. Searching, however, returns very little, and thresults are all clickbait or name drops. Durham calls it a locale around Taft. I just don't see how this could be notable when we can't really tell what it is. Mangoe (talk) 06:04, 19 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment - Based on newspapers.com, it was affiliated with the Standard Oil Company in some way. There's references to "Wallace Center, Standard Oil Camp, Taft" to a Standard Oil lease at Wallace Center and a reference to "the Standard Wallace Center Camp".  The issue is that none of these references actually describe the place.  So I'm still unsure as to what exactly this was. Hog Farm Bacon 06:25, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete with nothing around to describe or identify this, I can't see how we can say it meets any sort of notability requirements. Hog Farm Bacon 21:36, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
