Like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Inmans, California, this appears as a single building in the middle of Sequioa National Forest on a limited number of topos. Newspapers.com hits are for a planned housing development near Mammoth Lakes, California, a trailer park at Lompoc, California, a set in a Hollywood film studio, and some old blockhouse destroyed by gangsters in the 1920s, but nothing about this supposed place. Looks to fail WP:GNG and WP:GEOLAND. Hog Farm _Bacon 05:50, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Nom: Just creating an article from a name on a map and one GNIS listing offers nothing of encyclopedic value and certainly nothing of "historical" significance. The GNIS site giving a listing of historical "means that the feature no longer exists on the landscape or no longer serves its original function." Also, the GNIS site is no longer "officially" updated but through an online crowdsourcing mapping project with user updates. While the site might be great for a starting point as "proof of name" and for coordinates, it is not a pass for inherent notability. Otr500 (talk) 12:59, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
