This one's just a weird one. Starting off the weirdness is the claim that it's on the Northern Pacific, which makes no sense as the NP does not and appears to have never gone through this area. There's no place labelled Savona on topographic maps, this does not have a GNIS entry, and it does not appear in Gudde. This calls it a railroad station, that was originally named Camino and then Compton before settling on Savona. There's several other passing mentions of Savona Station, as well as a number of references to a place in Europe. I don't think this meets WP:GEOLAND or WP:GNG and the reference to the Northern Pacific is just baffling. Hog Farm _Talk 02:56, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Using JSTOR, Google scholar, GEOREF, I found the same mottly collection of passing references and surnames. None of them qualifies this entity (nonentity ?) for notabilty under WP:GEOLAND or WP:GNG. I did add a possible bus stop to Hog Farm's list of what Savona might be. Using Google books, I found the below quote on page 131 of:

Delete. Even if it was a siding or whistle stop station, that's not enough for me to be notable. Bearian (talk) 22:41, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
