[edit] Pill Hill, California

Pill Hill, California (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Yes, all communities are notable, even those with only two residents. But I dispute Pill Hill's status as a "community". Yes, there's a photo of a highway sign, but that doesn't satisfy my doubts. The sign looks like it may be homemade, or at least not an official highway sign: it's supported by what looks like two PVC pipes, which are buried in a bed of white gravel used for yard trim. Plus, the font on the sign isn't anything I've ever seen. (California highway signs are professionally made.)

More importantly, this article is unverifiable. It claims the U.S. Bureau of the Census lists the population as 2, but as mentioned on the talk page the Census Bureau doesn't keep records on this "town". A Google search for "pill hill" california doesn't turn up anything not from Wikipedia. Most ghits relate to the Oakland neighborhood with the same name. A search for "pill hill" twentynine palms turns up Wikipedia mirrors with the San Bernardino County template (Twentynine Palms is a nearby community).

Oh, and I can't find this place with mapping programs. Google Maps takes me to the Oakland neighborhood, and Yahoo Maps turns up the town of "Hill" near the Oregon border. szyslak 11:37, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Delete I can't find any more than you can and the census tools do not list this as a CDP (Census Designated Place). Unless we can get a bit more verifiable information other than that sign, it might be best to delete for now. spryde | talk 13:12, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. I'm all for keeping verifiable settlements of any size, but this one fails the most basic of basic tests. --Dhartung | Talk 21:01, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. I'm sort of convinced that this is the name somebody gave to their home outside of Twentynine Stumps. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 23:43, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
