The result was delete. I am assuming that Catalyst's comment should be taken as a "lean delete" as so far nobody has provided any references. Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk) 08:15, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Ignore the Barnaby Jones pop culture reference: I haven't seen the episode, but it's hard to imagine that they set something in an RV camp. Besides a long abandoned building, that's all that was there then and is there now. The RV place's website does state that the name shows up on GMaps, but that's pretty much what all references look like: a name drop of the location, but no description. On topo maps the name doesn't show up until relatively late, and the gothic font says they didn't think it was a town. Mangoe ( talk) 00:07, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

- Comment This is an unusual one. The Parker Junction name has been in use a lot longer than the RV camp has existed; there was a service station there in 1929, and an agriculture inspection station was built there in the late 1930s. That being said, everything I can find on those two buildings seems to imply it was more of a named highway junction at the time than an actual community. So this is a case of a place that is both populated and established, but it was established as a junction and hasn't been populated for all that long comparatively. I'm leaning toward this not being notable, but if someone finds any more references I could be convinced otherwise. TheCatalyst31 Reaction• Creation 03:58, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Road junction not a notable community. Didn't find any other sources; wish the California National Gazetteer were available online, it would probably have it appropriately as a locale. Reywas92 Talk 21:34, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Yes, it's a named place, but not all named places are notable or "populated". This one does not meet the GNG criteria as required by WP:GEOLAND #2. – dlthewave ☎ 04:10, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
