There are apparently a lot of people named "Neff" in Arizona, including a reporter and a bunch of criminals, so they overwhelm searching and I get essentially nothing on this place. The topos show a name by the road, with nothing to suggest why it's there, and there's nothing in the aerials to clarify the matter. Just cannot see the notability of a place for which I can find no meaningful documentation. Mangoe ( talk) 05:53, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. Perhaps this was the name of a ranch, but no evidence of it was ever any community, let alone one with notability. MB 17:13, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- AFAICT, it was a place set up by someone named Neff (Neffs appear as the tract owners in the 1890s), and there is a mine, with little to go on whether the mine had anything to do with the Neffs. I almost gave up, but I found the mine site, and there is still (now?) a road out to it.
- I'd say, leave it to the locals. I won't speculate that there is zero history.

- 1958 : Neff name is applied to the Topos. Cox Ranch is replaced with Banning Toll Station (named for Banning Creek). Certain stuctures remain. Brizbee Quadrangle (Topographic map). 125,000. 7.5 Minute Series. Neff, AZ: United States Geological Survey. 1958. Retrieved November 24, 2022.
- Structures are hit and miss on later topos, but the mapped structure sites are still present and in use.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Stifle ( talk) 11:11, 1 December 2022 (UTC)- Delete, it relies on the NGIS which WP:NPLACE says isn't valid for establishing legal recognization. Quaemenelimbus ( 🗨 here) ^_^ 15:11, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
