I likely could have put this up for WP:PROD, but at any rate this is a perfect example of a spot on the railroad that has a name simply because operations required it. It's nothing more or less than where the switch to get into the Masonite plant was. The spot is in an otherwise nondescript place on the outskirts of Ukiah that nothing shows to be anything like a distinct settlement, or indeed anything like a town at all.

- "Unincorporated community" my eye! The article even tells us that it was named after the Presswood™ (i.e. hardboard) that was made from timber waste at the Masonite Corporation plant, as in turn documented in a 1952 report by the California State Water Quality Control Board, and other sources say that it was a railway station at MP 115.8.

- Delete, technically, it's just a 'community' part of Ukiah. Example of this is looking up "Presswood" on Apple Maps. Although interestingly, on Google Maps it's actually called 'Presswood, California'. Plus if we keep this, might as well make articles on every small community in this country.

- Well, some people seem to want that, but in any case, Google Maps tends to copy stuff from WP pretty uncritically. Mangoe ( talk) 13:36, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - Found some passing mentions to the manufacturing plant, as well as some for an overpass, but nothing suggesting that this is a populated community. Hog Farm Talk 17:37, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
