Article ineligible for PROD due to a previous withdrawn PROD. This was a non-notable railroad point, not a community. This article: [1] states that Riverview is a "station" on the Sacramento Northern (most likely a flag stop). All other mentions are passing, such as [2]. Satellite view today shows just farmland with a few houses here and there. With no solid evidence this was a populated place, this article fails WP:GNG and WP:GEOLAND. The cited sources do not demonstrate notability, as per consensus at other AfD's. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 16:14, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

• Comment: I think it was just an unincorporated community, the area was farmland and you need a train station to move farm commodities. I did see a mention that the Riverview rail section was being improved because it lacked hauling capacity to serve the farmers. It's also pretty clear that Glide and Riverview are separate entities as well. There are quite a few mentions in newspapers for both those places. Probably it looked the same then as now, it was never a large population center. People have to name places that make convenient way markers for getting around. I think that's all we have here. It does however strike me that the area in general where these places exist could be notable, and in such an article they could be mentioned.James.folsom (talk) 20:04, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

• Delete Insufficient sources to establish notability, and is not presumed notable because it is not legally recognized (eg there is no recognized government operating there.)James.folsom (talk) 20:04, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 22:46, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

• Delete as per nomination. This place is only notable at a (very) local level, if even that. TH1980 (talk) 01:18, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
