Site of a former ranch, can't find evidence either is or was a community or is notable. Linked sources not useful. McCarran does not even appear on topo maps, and Patrick may have been the name of the train siding at Patrick's ranch. [1][2] Reywas92^Talk 19:08, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Patrick and McCarran. "Nevada Place Names" says that Patrick was a "non-agency station" on the SP RR and that Patrick is "at the McCarran Ranch". Carlson's references are David Myrick, who wrote about railroads, a Southern Pacific timetable and p. 297 of "Our Nevada," (1940) by Effie Mona Mack. I don't have access to these references, but two of them are railroad-specific. I found no evidence that Patrick was every anything more than a station and as it is non-notable, WP:STATION applies to Patrick. The McCarran Ranch is part of a Nature Conservancy site. BTW - McCarran common name around Reno, the main ring road is McCarran Blvd. and there is McCarran International Airport, all presumably honoring Pat McCarran, the son of the founder of the ranch. I agree that the satellite images show very little current activity. My newspapers.com account expired, so I can't check there. "Nevada Post Offices", (Gannett and Paher) do not list a Post Office at Patrick or McCarran, the nearest Post Office seems to be Tracy Clark Rural Branch Post Office (historical), which is about three miles east of Patrick. "Nevada Place Names" has no entry for McCarran. Cxbrx (talk) 21:04, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
