Procedural nomination as closer of Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 January 12 § Janes Place, California. I am neutral. In 2019 Reywas92 BLAR'd this as locality not notable, redir to county. WeirdNAnnoyed took it to RfD, writing Target article never mentions Janes Place, or gives any hint about what or where it was. Very obscure place, unlikely search term. Reywas commented at the RfD Topo map shows it as an isolated cabin. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe) 20:56, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Consensus from RFD already seems pretty clear that the subject fails WP:NPLACE and WP:GNG and my BEFORE didn't uncover anything that would suggest otherwise. Jfire (talk) 21:08, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Just a single building. No evidence this was ever a "community" of any kind. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:15, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per my comments above, from the RfD. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 21:25, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever this is, it is lost to history. There's nothing in the Service & Hillman Arcadia book on Eureka and Humboldt County. I can make no verifiable connection to Henry F. Janes, founder of Janesville, Wisconsin who came to Humboldt and was its first JP, who stated that he lived near Uniontown (not clear to me which one, but I suspect Arcata rather than Lotus) anyway, some 40km away, and is reported to have ended up "above" (north? upstream of? up a hill from?) Humboldt City, California. Nothing else turns up in the history books that I can find. I cannot say a single verifiable thing about what this even is.
