 * Delete This is a pointless essay. Regent of the Seatopians (talk) 01:32, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to San Francisco Peaks. It's a new contributor who hasn't yet learned the do's and don'ts on Wikipedia, so I'm not going to be too harsh in my comments.  One of the precepts is that the references should, where possible, be placed at the end of sentences or clauses that refer to a particular fact that they support.  Second, the essay style would need to be written to look like an encyclopedia article, eliminating personal observations.  Third, I'm concerned that this has the appearance of something that has been published elsewhere.  Ultimately, though, the information about the individual peaks should be added to the existing article on the San Francisco Peaks.  I can't see the title of this article as a search term.  I think we should a title like Arizona mountains that redirects to "San Francisco Peaks".  I was unaware that that was what the mountain range there was called, and would have stumbled across it only on San Francisco (disambiguation).   Mandsford 13:12, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * San Francisco isn't in Arizona. Erpert (let's talk about it) 15:53, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * You know, I have heard rumors that there's a place in California with that name. They might not know about it over at the San Francisco Peaks though. Mandsford 16:42, 10 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete as unencyclopedic. No indication why this article is necessary or notable. It starts "Arizona is a fairly mountainous and rugged state..." which sets the tone for the unencyclopedianess of the article in general. Weakopedia (talk) 21:58, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to Geography of Arizona. Not all of these 10 peaks are in the San Francisco range; some are in the White Mountains. --MelanieN (talk) 02:36, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge - per MelanieN's observation. moreno oso (talk) 02:28, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge per Mandsford and MelanieN.  T G R  ✫ 06:10, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. From a technical standpoint there is nothing wrong with the article. The topic is notable and the article provides sources. Although in-line sources are preferred, an article is still valid without them. The sources provide may not actually support the article content and it may be a personal essay, but to the same extent, it may a copyvio straight from the sources provided. Until we know otherwise, we should assume good faith.-- Pink Bull  21:35, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
