In spite of its listing in the GNIS as a populated place, this is a mobile home park and senior center in central Mesa which fails WP:GNG and WP:GEOLAND #1. See and. SportingFlyer  T · C  18:21, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Lack of substantive sources establishing notability. Mobile home parks are a type of housing development and are not automatically notable. Reywas92Talk 19:58, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - just to correct some misconceptions regarding GNIS and whether or not they are a reliable source for this type of Gazetteer information. All the following information is taken directly from the USGS website (emphasis added is mine):


 * The U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) is a Federal body created in 1890 and established in its present form by Public Law in 1947 to maintain uniform geographic name usage throughout the Federal Government.


 * Decisions of the BGN were accepted as binding by all departments and agencies of the Federal Government.


 * It serves the Federal Government and the public as a central authority to which name problems, name inquiries, name changes, and new name proposals can be directed.


 * The GNIS Feature ID, Official Feature Name, and Official Feature Location are American National Standards Institute standards.


 * The database holds the Federally recognized name of each feature and defines the feature location by state, county, USGS topographic map, and geographic coordinates.  Onel 5969  TT me 22:38, 20 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete. Another NN trailer park. The GNIS entry is cited to "yellow pages". That does not confer legal recognition despite having been put in the GNIS database. This location must meet GNG per GEOLAND#2. MB 04:18, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Mobile home parks are not notable per WP:GEOLAND. Additionally does not pass WP:GNG Lightburst (talk) 21:53, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
