This was nominated sometime back as part of a failed group nom, but the argument made back then certainly applies here: everything says that this was named after the Calumet Mine because it was where the siding to the mine originated from. There's no suggestion of an actual settlement. Mangoe ( talk) 21:40, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
- Delete I agree with nom, looks like this was an industrial site, I can't see anything to confirm this is a populated place. Deathlibrarian ( talk) 16:25, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

- Delete Concur with nom, no evidence this was a community. I found "A Short History of the Calumet and Arizona Mining Company" which is 7-8 pages and it never mentions any place by this name except for Calumet, Michigan where the company originated. MB 05:54, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

- Delete per all above. This is not a legally recognized place that would pass WP:GEOLAND. @ Stefka Bulgaria: - Why was this relisted? There appeared to be a pretty strong consensus to delete. Hog Farm Bacon 15:38, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Neither notability nor populated place for this locale is established. Examined USGS historic topographic maps back to 1914. On the 1914 Douglas, Arizona, 1:62,500 qaudranagle, "Calumet," elevation 3953 feet, shows up as a railroad siding for the Calmuet and Arizona Smelter. About the same appears on sucessively younger maps until the 1955 Douglas 1:125,000 qaudrangle, where the siding and smelter disappear and only the name and an unknown symbol on the railroad track remains. For the more recent 1:24,000 qaudrangles, only the name remains. Calumet appears to be an abandoned railroad siding that lacks any significance and indication of having been a populated place at any time. Paul H. ( talk) 19:32, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
