• Redirect to Novato, California: WP:GEOLAND "informal regions of a state, unofficial neighborhoods, etc. – any of which could be considered notable on a case-by-case basis, given non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources.", there is nothing that meets non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources. If someone feels it merit mention, the sentence could be copied into Novato, California.   // Timothy :: talk  01:34, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• delete This is a bi-agency cock-up which is only fully apparent when you go back to the nautical chart from which the entry came. That chart shows the name "DeWitt" at an intersection a bit north of the location given in the article (which is roughly that of Ignacio, which is a rail yard incidentally, not a settlement), but by the time that chart edition was published the intersection had been wiped out in favor of an excessively complicated freeway interchange. If you look at that spot, it was never anything like a settlement, at least as the topos show. I have no idea where NOAA got the name "DeWitt" but it doesn't appear on the USGS maps until it was reentered from GNIS— at the wrong location. In short, it's a totally spurious product of bad mapping and needs to just go away. Mangoe (talk) 14:58, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
