This location shows no sign of being an unincorporated community and appears to be a mountain summit. –dlthewave ☎ 04:51, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I can't find any reason to regard this location as notable and I suspect the name is local and informal at best, or even non-existent. The only references that I can find online ultimately come back to the site which is the sole reference in the article (USGS) - this refers to its source as a 1993 brochure(?) that I cannot find. If you enter 38.1888079, -120.3632522 into the Chrome search bar, the mini-map does show the name Sunset Point (though the main Google map doesn't name it). Possibly Google got the name from somewhere else, or possibly from the same USGS source. asnac (talk) 08:11, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a known problem with articles based solely on WP:GNIS data. Google Maps also uses GNIS with no apparent fact checking, and if you search for "Sunset Point, CA" you'll even find a description of the "unincorporated community" lifted straight from our very own Wikipedia article! –dlthewave ☎ 13:07, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
