This appears to be a failed subdivision: the grid of roads appears, but the houses mostly do not, and fifty years on it is still largely unpeopled. Searching is heavily masked by the nuclear power plant, but I didn't get any significant hits on it. It doesn't seem to be a notable place. Mangoe (talk) 17:00, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

- Delete. Looks like a failed subdivision of Cantil, California, which it appears to be part of. Google Maps shows a few houses and camping trailers, including a dune buggy parts store called "Buggy World", but that lists its address as within Cantil. The presence of houses, camping trailers, and a store imply people do live there, but it's clearly not a lot, and I think some of them are just abandoned. Even if Rancho Seco was inhabited by more than five people, it appears to just be part of Cantil and not its own place, and since it has nothing to offer aside from a dune buggy parts store, there's really no information to bring to Cantil's page.

- I can find more about the water company serving the 30 people there than I can about the place. Our article on the Fremont Valley is pretty poor (5 sentences in 16 years), given that Gypsite, California (AfD discussion), Rancho Seco, California (AfD discussion), Ceneda, Saltdale, Garlock, Rand, Goler, Johannesburg, Randsburg, and Red Mountain are listed in the context of Fremont Basin water management.

- 'Delete per WP:MILL. As a ghost town or failed development, I don't think it's notable since it was never notable. I would not oppose a redirect to Cantil, California. Bearian (talk) 19:50, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
