Don't know what Durham says about it, but the topos clearly label it as the intake for the aqueduct where water is drawn from the Owens River. This doesn't fit any of the CSD criteria, but there's absolutely no reason why we should have an article on this. Blatantly terrible stub mass-creation with no regard to checking anything about accuracy. Hog Farm Bacon 01:29, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

- Delete I'm having trouble locating a place labelled "intake" on the map, but the lack of suitable sources combined with the supposed location at the end of an aqueduct tells me all I need to know. – dlthewave ☎ 02:51, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - based on the map that User:Hog Farm posted, "Intake" is in the same font as the LA Aqueduct and the rail line, but it is not the same font as the the populated places. It's a location, but not a populated place. Chris857 ( talk) 06:09, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. No post office :-). Searching newspapers.com for "Intake Inyo" came up with a number of hits for fishing concerning the Los Angeles Aqueduct intake, where intake was not capitalized. A 1912 newspaper article states that the intake was so modest as to be unimpressive. JSTOR found nothing of interest. GBooks did find [1] which says that there was a phone line to "Intake", which was capitalized. This was the only reference I found that was capitalized. Chalfant's The Story of Inyo mentions the intake twice, in lower case. At best there was a non-notable construction camp at this location. As the location is not legally recognized and there is at best trivial coverage, #1 and #2 of WP:GEOLAND are not met. Cxbrx ( talk) 16:53, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
