DePRODded because of 2 references, but one of these is just GNIS and the other a document of place name origins. All I can find is that this was once a ranch, not an "unincorporated community". Fails WP:GEOLAND and is confusing clutter because there are lots of places and roads in California named El Camino. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 18:55, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep From 1935 there is El Camino Community Church. More research is probably needed because there is also this article from 1936. Lightburst (talk) 22:18, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete the sources mentioned above are ROUTINE at best. Based on Google Maps it is a community with about 30 people within a square mile. It's not even mentioned in the list of unincorporated communities on Tehama County, California. There is nothing I can find on this tiny community. Finally El Camino, California will always route me to "El Camino Real." Conyo14 (talk) 23:31, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Conyo14: Follow the RS and please do a WP:BEFORE: they have a fire Station 9 – El Camino formed in 1958. And there is more to be found. El Camino residents voice Tehama County General Plan concerns. Other news: Vegetation fire in El Camino contained at ¼ acre, El Camino stabbing sends one to hospital, one to jail, Forward progress of 2-acre fire in El Camino stopped. Apparently 7,500 acres.

    • My !vote is based on notability, GNG, and finally a BEFORE search. Even so, I see nothing but ROUTINE here. It seems there's more on the El Camino Irrigation District than about the community. I'll give you one for the "Tehama County General Plan concerns". Otherwise, maybe there is more on newspapers.com (a site I don't have access to). Conyo14 (talk) 00:00, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• There's definitely enough in the sources here for an article. Because you didn't read the history already cited in the article at the time of nomination, you've all missed the ranch. Uncle G (talk) 23:13, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as improved. TY Uncle G jengod (talk) 04:38, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Uncle G - I don't have time to review the newer sources, but Tehama County Place Names is a self-published work put together by two authors with no obvious expertise as historians with the help of local school-students. I don't wish to be unkind to the great kids at Red Bluff Union High School and their teach Mr. Osbourne who I'm sure did a great job at their class-project for US history, but we need better sourcing than that for an article - at the very least it needs to be published by an established publishing-house with a record of fact-checking and ideally authored by professional historians.
