Another one where a common last name makes searching difficult, but I got lucky and stumbled across a state senate bill to "acquire the area west of the proposed U.S. 101 highway known as Reynolds Redwood Flat for the state park system." I also found another legislative report stating that "The Public Works Board recently purchased Reynolds Redwood Flat, famed resort in northern Mendocino County." This is consistent with the topos, which show a very tight cluster of buildings which disappears when the highway gets put through. The aerials are largely useless except to show how far out of step the topos are compared to the situation on the ground, but I did also discover that the state park is still there, although reduced in size after the interchange expanded. So, not a settlement, period, and in spite of the legislature I don't see any other evidence for the resort's fame. Mangoe (talk) 03:45, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There's an updated version of Palmer's History of Mendocino County, California, not out of copyright so you won't find it in the Internet Archive like the others, that has Reynolds and the memorial park up to 1967, by the way. Uncle G (talk) 06:30, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Uncle G and Mangoe: - I have completely rewritten this to be about the redwood resort here and the current state park stuff, which has had some interesting stuff. I think this is now solidly at a Keep, but would like permission to move this page to Reynolds Wayside Campground, which is the best title. This place was never known simply as Reynolds that I found, so the currently title should not stand. Hog FarmTalk 16:31, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's possible to do uncontroversial renames of articles being discussed at AFD, as long as one fixes up the discussion page mechanisms at the same time. Of course, that's the tricky part. ☺ Uncle G (talk) 17:26, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Frank W. Reynolds was a former county assessor and lumberman, you will find, and represented lumber trade interests on the board. Uncle G (talk) 17:33, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as rewritten. Clearly notable. BD2412T 03:46, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
