WIKIPEDIA:ARTICLES FOR DELETION ROBINSON TRAIL CROSSING ARIZONA

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Some delete, some redirect. Please note that I've reformatted the list in the opening statement to use : instead of *, as the previous form thereof was breaking the XFDCloser. On the merits, it seems like there is a consensus to get rid of each article, but on a few there was a suggestion to use a redirect instead of plain deletion. Per WP:ATD that's been done where there was the suggestion, but each redirect can be contested at the usual places ( WP:RFD in particular) of people absolutely want a deletion.

Next up in the not-actually-a-populated-place-much-less-a-notable-one spam after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Road Junction Windmill, Arizona is river crossings (like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Durfee Crossing, Arizona and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chair Crossing, Arizona (2nd nomination)). None show a town or village on GMaps and all are marked as locales Arizona National Gazetteer unlike the GNIS. I have linked sources found on newspapers.com that could suggest a redirect target. If you find more I missed it can be struck from this nomination.

delete the lot I took the trouble of looking at each of them on topo maps, and it's clear that there's no there there, with no structures in all but one case. One of them I couldn't find at all. Mangoe ( talk) 02:25, 24 January 2020 (UTC) reply
~~Merge each~~ to its corresponding river article where possible, as many of these are significant as river crossings if not populated places. Otherwise delete except Wolf Crossing, Arizona should merge to Tolchico, Arizona as this book states "Near this crossing in the 1880s Hermannn (sic) Woolf kept a trading post called Tolchico, Navajo for 'river ford'".

In case it helps anyone else search (I don't have newspapers.com access right now) I also found:

The most likely candidate for keep seemed to be Mormon Crossing, of which Early Mormon Place Names in Arizona says "The place where they forded the creek still bears the name of Mormon Crossing. Once again, however, the would-be settlers found insufficient water to establish their hoped-for 'Valley of Agalon' and abandoned their homesteads in the area". I couldn't find sufficient sources for an article on this settlement (was it there for weeks, years?). Construction of Mormon Crossing (the bridge) and the approach road have some brief coverage but not enough to satisfy WP:NBUILD, but a mention of these in Chevelon Creek would be best, perhaps.
For Six Mile Crossing there are three pages here about wildlife and camping, with another such source it might pass GNG.
A " million feet a month" sawmill at Wiggins Crossing
At Cedar Creek Crossing "farmsites were not permanent camping places"
There might be something in The Prehistoric Occupation of Correjo Crossing, East-central Arizona

I didn't find anything indicating permanent settlement by more than one household at any of the others---- Pontificalibus 08:18, 24 January 2020 (UTC) reply
