THere is a certain irony in my inability to find anything out about human activity at this site other than various official records about the outflow of a sewage treatment plant. The name doesn't appear on the topos until that plant gets built, and other than tat I get clickbait, and not much of that. Fails verification, much less notability.

Delete No post office. Ratto Landing was also known as Ratto's Landing - The Cuttings Wharf 1949 (1956 ed.) topo shows "Rattos Landing". Newspapers.com yields [1], which states that John and Frank Ratto constructed a dock to facilitate the transfer of livestock. Newspapers.com has a few hits about the sewage outfall. GBooks had nothing significant. JSTOR had nothing. Passing reference as a trivial sewage outfall does not meet #1 of WP:GEOLAND. I found no evidence that there was ever a community at this location. The coverage is trivial at best. Thus #2 of WP:GEOLAND is not met. Cxbrx (talk) 20:23, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
