Another minor rail station incorrectly identified by GNIS as a community. Durham calls it a locality on the Sacramento Northern Railroad. Several references refer to Meinert Station ([1], [2] ) but no indication that it was ever a community. Fails basic notability. Glendoremus (talk) 22:23, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think this is a keep, a notable populated place which passes WP:GEOLAND.

I stopped looking after these few hits. Lightburst (talk) 23:00, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please look more carefully. The area you are pointing out on Google maps is Concord. Ygnacio Valley Park is in Concord as you can see on this city website: [3]. The other two sites you have found are just clickbait sites . Enter any obscure location and the same or similar sites get generated. Glendoremus (talk) 00:07, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I will look into this with my newspaper account later. I am puzzled by the map. Perhaps the road is a close spelling here on this map. Lightburst (talk) 00:28, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Older topos show a few large buildings along the tracks, consistent with a small rail stop. This is very similar to Bancroft, a nearby location that was recently deleted. Coverage is mainly found in sources that scrape data from sources like GNIS and Wikipedia; these soures are generally not reliable. –dlthewave ☎
delete It started out life as a junction on the Sacramento Northern line, but the branch died early (in 1925). Older aerials show two largish buildings on the north side, but sources indicate they were for a pear packing facility and may have and nothing to do with the railroad; in any event, the "station" was a simple shelter like those seen at other points on the line. There was no community around until suburbanization rolled over the the orchards that formerly surrounded the spot, and I see no indication that anyone thinks of this even as a neighborhood.
