Delete - On satellite it's in the middle of nowhere, way up at the end of "Indian Route 13". There are some buildings scattered about too, but I found nothing online about this place. It's also called "Huk Ovi Aponi-VI". I don't have access to the Wikipedia helicopter to be sure what's there, so I'll say delete.

delete I did find one source that explained this somewhat
[1]. It describes the place as a spring and says that a house was built in 1896 there, which is certainly consistent with the Hopi-style dwelling close by. That said, one house by a spring is not a notable settlement.

Keep per
WP:GEOLAND. US Department of the Interior publication "Decisions on Geographic Names in the United States" published in 1995 identifies it as "populated place", and ref added to the article.

WP:GEOLAND was recently updated and now states that that source (GNIS) is not reliable for establishing the notability of populated places (it sometimes misidentifies family farms and railroad sidings as "populated places").

Striking keep after reading the GNIS article. I am not persuaded that the source I found and added is sufficiently different from the GNIS database that has problems identifying populated places.

Delete. Additional source "Becoming Hopi: A History" through Google Books mentions Mumurva, and identifies it as a spring on page 37. A second book, "Hopi Animal Stories", also on Google Books, makes a passing mention of Mumurva, and identifies it as a spring (p.58). Not a settled place. Both mentions are trivial in nature and not enough to satisfy
