As best I can determine, this is just a name the California highway maintenance department slapped on the intersection at some point in the 1960s. They are the locus of most references to the place, and the name doesn't show up on topos until 1973; go back into the 1940s and the key road follows a different route. There is of course nothing here but a couple of houses, all of which look to be small ranches; old topos show different buildings but never more than a couple.

- Delete, or redirect to Parkfield, California. Nothing more than a name on a map, like many other California location articles. CJK09 ( talk) 03:46, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
- Newspapers.com has articles going back to the 1920s, mostly about road improvements. "parkfield%2Bjunction" "parkfield%2Bjunction" This references it as a place: "parkfield%2Bjunction". I agree this was probably a place created by a road junction, but its name should probably be preserved somewhere, even if it's not quite a settlement. SportingFlyer T· C 02:43, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect to Parkfield, California, unless someone can prove this is more than a road crossing. ~ EDDY ( talk/ contribs)~ 21:18, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete No evidence that this was ever anything more than a road junction that was occasionally used as a landmark. – dlthewave ☎ 04:14, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Additionally, a redirect does not seem appropriate here. It is not related to Parkfield beyond being on the other end of a road that happens to lead there. – dlthewave ☎ 00:05, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
