Not done

This does not seem like a reliable source: Haunted America (publisher) is a subsidiary of Arcadia Publishing which is a disputed source as to reliability and quality. It's not a serious history imprint - they publish scores of FRINGE topics and ghost-story pulp-history such as Ghosts of Salem: The Haunts of the Witch City and the like [1], Haunted Florida Love Stories [2], etc. Their website has 13 pages of dozens of books of sub-par quality.

Netherzone, OK, how about this one:
Add under the History section, please add the following citation after the 1st paragraph to support statement about Tiburcio Vásquez and the house that is named Vásquez House.^[1]

Not sure that a blocked editor can submit an edit request for a prod removal. Netherzone (talk) 06:37, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You misinterpreted the SNG, which reads (with emphasis added by me) "Artificial geographical features that are officially assigned the status of cultural heritage or national heritage, or of any other protected status on a national level and for which verifiable information beyond simple statistics is available, are presumed to be notable.". Recognition at a state or city level is not considered a national level. Graywalls (talk) 06:59, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Greghenderson2006:, please allow a moment while I try to figure out whether I'm obliged to comply with the request. Graywalls (talk) 07:03, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Graywalls If I read Wikipedia:PROXYING right, then you are only allowed to make the edit if you are able to show that the changes are productive and have independent reasons for making such edits. Nobody (talk) 09:11, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Graywalls you are welcome to, but you are not obliged to. No editor has to act on any edit request. If you believe the PROD was in error, you're welcome to remove it, send it for AfD or any action yu think best. cc@Netherzone Star Mississippi 12:10, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Graywalls, take the time you need. However, according to the information at hand, "You may remove this message if you improve the article or otherwise object to deletion for any reason." I kindly object to the deletion of this article because it has been established as a California Historical Landmark #351. The house is also listed on the California Historical Landmarks in Monterey County.

Greg Henderson (talk) 15:41, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am not removing it, but I'm leaving this open. The building is not listed on a national level historical register and the coverage on it appears to fall short of GNG. I've done a cursory good faith WP:BEFORE, check but I'm not taking time to do an exhaustive search. In the interest of saving community time rather than taking it to AfD with a predictable result, I PROD it. If other editors without enticement from Greg feel PROD should be removed, then they're free to remove it, just as anyone else, including myself is free to AfD it after that. Graywalls (talk) 18:16, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done @Necrothesp: Thanks for removing the proposed deletion tag. I appreciate it. Greg Henderson (talk) 14:49, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
