This is a trial balloon for a set of former native settlements in Monterey County which represent yet another out-of-the-norm GNIS source. Someone at USGS found this list of these villages, and ran the whole thing into GNIS is spite of the fact that the only information on any of the is a name and a tribal/nation affiliation. GHits are next to nothing; GBooks comes up with (as far as I can determine) a number of places which reproduced the same list, for some reason: I get a lot of snapshot views, but the clip that's shown is always the same text. Not being able to see the ultimate source, I'm not terribly confident they were even in this county, and given all the various GNIS problems, I'm loathe to take their word on it when there aren't any coordinates. So here we have a point where the usual invocations of [[WP:GEOLAND]] break down. There is just no way these spots pass [[WP:GNG]] individually: at the moment, the information on each is actually possibly ''less'' than what each article says, constituting two sentences of which the second states what we ''don't'' know. Even as a group, it seems to me hard to argue that they've been written about at any length. Whatever we come up with for this one, I would expect to apply to the lot; but there's no way I'm going to do a group nom of 12-15 articles given the likelihood of someone taking it down procedurally and making me do everything twice.

* '''Comment''' - I understand that non-notable places should be deleted, however, to my mind it does not make sense to remove or exclude information about former Native American settlements or villages.

This is a trial balloon for a set of former native settlements in Monterey County which represent yet another out-of-the-norm GNIS source. Someone at USGS found this list of these villages, and ran the whole thing into GNIS is spite of the fact that the only information on any of the is a name and a tribal/nation affiliation. GHits are next to nothing; GBooks comes up with (as far as I can determine) a number of places which reproduced the same list, for some reason: I get a lot of snapshot views, but the clip that's shown is always the same text. Not being able to see the ultimate source, I'm not terribly confident they were even in this county, and given all the various GNIS problems, I'm loathe to take their word on it when there aren't any coordinates. So here we have a point where the usual invocations of WP:GEOLAND break down. There is just no way these spots pass WP:GNG individually: at the moment, the information on each is actually possibly less than what each article says, constituting two sentences of which the second states what we don't know. Even as a group, it seems to me hard to argue that they've been written about at any length. Whatever we come up with for this one, I would expect to apply to the lot; but there's no way I'm going to do a group nom of 12-15 articles given the likelihood of someone taking it down procedurally and making me do everything twice.
