Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gypsite, California
Gypsite had a post office: http://pbbooks.com/caindex.htm, https://vredenburgh.org/mining_history/pdf/1998SBCMAv45n1&2.pdf.   Personally, I feel that the presence of a post office is legal recognition and thus meets #1 of .  However, I acknowledge that virtually no one agrees with me so I'd prefer to not have my weak keep keep this article unless other people agree.  The geological literature refers to Koehn Spring, Kane Spring and Cane Spring, all three of which seem to be the same place - the 1915 and 1922 editions of the Searles Lake 1915 map show Cane and Koehn Spring just north of Gypsite.  There is a https://vredenburgh.org/mining_history/pdf/1998SBCMAv45n1&2.pdf reference (Hensher) to a small narrow gauge railway being built to transfer the ore to the mill.  The Rand Desert Museum has a number of short newspaper articles about the area, see http://randdesertmuseum.com/site/?p=10920.  On that page there is a reference to a post office being established at Koehn.  Both Gypsite and Koehn are listed in the list of http://pbbooks.com/caindex.htm post offices.  Presumably the name of the Koehn post office changed to Gypsite at some point.  The Rand museum page has two 1914 references to "Gypsite Mills", a 1926 reference to Koehn of Gypsite.  The Rand museum page mentions a story about how Koehn held off a group of armed claim jumpers in a battle at Koehn Lake, but this does not directly involve Gypsite.  https://vredenburgh.org/mining_history/pdf/1998SBCMAv45n1&2.pdf Hensher states that a hotel, depot and houses were built.  I've found very few citations for Gypsite being anything other than a mill with a post office, a hotel and some houses.   The story of Charles Koehn seems to be a bit more notable, perhaps that would be a better article
