What with the citation from the dude ranch association, one might have expected someone to have noticed that the narrative in question describes a pair of ranches, not a town. The version of the same story on the ranch's website is essentially the same. The "Espero" post office was on the other ranch and seems likely to have been a 4th class PO. As it stands, there is no evidence that there was a settlement here beyond the ranches, and I do not see the present facility as notable in its own right.

Delete a couple of non-notable ranches inexplicably described as a settlement. We are not an exhaustive list of random named locations. Dronebogus (talk) 13:41, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, Does not represent a notable place. Alex-h (talk) 10:45, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Insufficient independent SIGCOV for notability. If there was adequate evidence of notability, then an article would be justified. Shawn Teller (talk) 02:16, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
