I'm not sure that this site meet WP:GEOLAND or WP:GNG. Found some older coverage stating that this was a resort with 7 cabins. As noted at User:Hog Farm/springs, this is not mentioned in a directory of natural springs in California. When I search in An Arcadia press book about resorts in Lake County, nothing is coming up for me. Newspapers.com coverage is a vast string of "houses of rent" real estate listings and a few passing mentions that things happened at the Ettawa Springs resort: the discovery of a dead body, an accidental shooting, and an insecticide poisoning.

Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places, but all I'm really getting are trivial mentions, unreliable genealogy-type stuff, and a crap ton of real estate listings that don't contribute to notability. As a resort, not a community, it fails GEOLAND, and I'm not convinced that GNG is met here. Hog Farm _Talk 17:16, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Seems to have arisen from the Ettawa Berry Ranch which is seen inviting campers here in 1919. Nothing comes up before that so I think it's safe to discount any long-lost ghost town. Marketed as a resort from the 30s with serviced cabins but by 1995 the site is for sale stating "Lodge/cabins probably not salvageable. Old RV park". No evidence that it was a collection of permanent homes.----Pontificalibus 17:30, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My research yields the same as the nomination, with the addition that the 1972 Woodall's Trailering Parks and Campgrounds gives location data only. Uncle G (talk) 19:21, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No post office. I found the same trivial, non-notable coverage in newspapers.com. JSTOR returns one article about moss with a trivial mention. GBooks has a few trivial mentions - nothing of note. This is a non-notable location without legal recognition and with only trivial coverage so #1 and #2 of WP:GEOLAND are not met.Cxbrx (talk) 05:52, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
