Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mariposita, California
Good point about searching the California Historical Society Quarterly.  Fortunately JSTOR has copies and I have access to JSTOR via Wikipedia.  I added the Cosgrave citation to the article.  The title of the article includes "Little Mariposa" and my primitive understanding of Spanish suggests that "Mariposita" is Spanish for "Little Mariposita".  However, this feels like  to me.  Interestingly, Cosgrave states that Little Mariposa Creek was about four miles south of Mariposa, whereas https://www.newspapers.com/clip/63671677/rearrested-in-indian-grave-opening-case/ states that Mariposita is seven miles south of Mariposa.  I chose to include both references in the article (teach the controversy!).  Mitchell mentions "the Little Mariposa", which sounds like a reference to a creek, not to a settlement, so I chose not to add it.  Also, I find Mitchell's references to be trivial
