Disputed PROD. I do not think this location passes WP:GEOLAND as there is little evidence it was ever really a populated recognized place; the sources cited are either not reliable (GNIS), or trivial passing mentions that establish existence but not notability. From what I can gather, this seems to have been the site of a resort: [1] mentions "Riverdale Resort...in the city of Leggett", and this site: [2] can sell you a vintage postcard from said resort, specifically labeled as being in Leggett, California. A satellite view of the coordinates shows a couple of houses along the river, but not much else. The vast majority of references to Riverdale (even in the Mendocino County press) are to the Riverdale in Fresno County, so I think a redirect to Leggett, California would be potentially confusing and not useful to the average user; I think this article should just be deleted in the absence of more evidence that this was a populated place.

• Delete - Does not appear to have either legal recognition or significant coverage to meet our notability standards. Looks to be a former resort area, Streetview shows a few occupied homes, but nothing noteworthy. –dlthewave ☎ 17:44, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
