Arizona article stubs that fail WP:GEOLAND

[edit]

I am adding these here as I go through them with the hopes of doing a bulk AfD, as they're all sourced to a database that doesn't reliably prove WP:GEOLAND:

Checked by me

[edit]
  • Alma Gardens, Arizona (a mobile home park and senior center [1] [2] (searched address on second source)
  • Amberwood, Arizona and Amberwood II, Arizona housing subdevelopment [3] [4] and company [5]
  • Amberwood North, Arizona may deserve a standalone AfD as it's the after-the-fact name of a neighborhood [6]
  • Ambrosia Mill, Arizona not a town, but rather a mill which made manganese more manganese-y [7]
  • Andalusia, Arizona took awhile to find anything, but it's just a housing subdevelopment [8]
  • Apache Wells, Arizona either a country club and mobile home park. Might meet WP:GNG. [9]
  • at AfD Basking Ridge, Arizona I have absolutely no idea what this is supposed to be - all I get are database entries, and a newspaper search brings up only Basking Ridge, New Jersey (turns out it's a subdivision)
  • Belaire Manor, Arizona a mobile home park. [10]
  • Co-op Village, Arizona I can't find anything that references this place at all, but it is on the Gila River reservation.
  • Desert Hills, Arizona This one isn't even in the GNIS database, though probably can't include in a bulk delete it since there's prose
  • Desert Vista Estates III, Arizona Not just a subdivision, but the third phase of a subdivision. No results for "III", I have to just search "Desert Vista Estates" [11]
  • East Mesa, Arizona Appears to be a subdivision, though this will probably need to be nominated separately as there are a lot of results for east Mesa (sic on capitalisation)
  • Fennemore, Arizona No results for any locality with the name, though there is a station in a location in West Phoenix on OpenStreetMap. Won't delete, but noting I couldn't really find anything
  • Road Junction Windmill, Arizona I have to write something here apart from "Yeah, nah" for those reading this for the first time, but a Newspapers.com search brought up nothing, a Google search brought up directories based on the GNIS, I even asked the corpse of Jeeves and found nothing. It is, literally, a windmill at the junction of two four wheel drive only forest roads (though now there are six solar panels at the site!)

Mobile home parks

Subdivisions/housing developments

Other

Crossings

All appear to be named crossings of rivers, with no evidence of a community ever existing. GNIS's classification as populated places is erroneous. e.g. Jones Crossing
