Back to the California bulk-creations. No indication this was a notable settlement, 1907 map has nothing but a name on the railroad https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/ht-bin/tv_browse.pl?id=b1e243f82f9d569792e98834cc4986b5 Reywas92Talk 20:41, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

- Delete Another non-notable railroad waypoint, no evidence this was ever a settlement of any kind. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 21:32, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
- I found a 1913 tourist guide telling us that these (Ronda, Zamora, Brentona) were all railroad stops for local farmers. The difference is that there's a Zamora Historical Research Society that appears to have written a little bit about Zamora/Black's Station. ☺ (Our article is sourced to "Mast family" at one point, though.)

- Also, Zamora has its own exit from I5 and a couple of businesses, whereas (for what it's worth) I had never heard of Ronda until today, despite having grown up in the area. It disappeared from maps in 1915 and even then had no buildings in USGS topos....this is a no-brainer. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 04:40, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 00:18, 24 December 2023 (UTC)- Merge into the Yolo county California article. WP:Geoland#Settlements and administrative regions states that only legally recognized places are presumed notable. Non-legally recognized places such as Ronda, must meet WP:GNG in order to be considered notable. In particular Ronda fails Wikipedia:Notability#SUSTAINED, I also believe that previous discussion indicates that Ronda fails WP:NRV as well. policy guidance given in both WP:GNG and WP:GEOLAND are that such articles should be merged into the article that covers the notable administrative area that contains it. I'm willing to do the merge, but let me know as I might not be paying attention. James.folsom (talk) 01:44, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
- Merge with Yolo County, California: per above. बिनोद थारू (talk) 23:43, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
