Here we have something of a mess. The GNIS entry for this was ent3ered from a Forest Service map in 1991, but if you look at topos from after that date, you will see the label for Lombardi sitting next to Sherman Acres, California; go back earlier, though, and you see a somewhat different arrangement of buildings in the same area, labelled "Lombardi". The GNIS entry for Sherman Acres, though, has the following note rejecting the use of Lombardi: "USGS (Topo.), Big Meadow 1:62; to establish a name that is well known and used locally; USGS reports that the name Lombardi originated from a former cow camp in the area; USGS and USFS maps show variant; no P.O.; in Stanislaus NF."

The reality seems to be that they are the same locale, and that someone came back to the FS map, and not looking at the other entry, re-entered Lombardi. I found one reference to a Lombardi ranch, for what it's worth, but nothing establishing a town or the like (there are references to a Lombardi mine, but I believe it was elsewhere). Sherman Acres shows up a lot as a locale, but it's plainly a subdivision, not notable either, so I am adding it to this nomination:

I should add that our Sherman Acres article says that it used to be called Lombardi, whereas the latter article insists there were two Lombardis, which is not a conclusion I can justify from any source. Mangoe (talk) 20:51, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Mangoe: Why not just redirect the page? Regards, Zindor (talk) 21:11, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake i didn't see that Sherman Acres was also up for AfD. Zindor (talk) 22:22, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The difficulty in even establishing it's location argues for lack of notability. I don't see anything else that says it's notable.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Glendoremus (talk • contribs) 21:20, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
