Apollo Mobile Home Park

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable; fails WP:GEOLAND. Individual trailer-parks are not inherently notable. Listing in the USGS Geographic Names Information System is not automatic justification for article. A trailer-park or any neighborhood within a city/town needs to be independently notable. This one is not. See Articles for deletion/A-1 Trailer Park, Arizona for similar discussion.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - Per WP:GEOLAND: "Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low." By definition, the USGS designation is legal recognition of the place. And the USGS listing gives the location the definition of a "populated place". There is nothing, as the nominator claims, in Geoland which says that a populated place which meets the main requirement of Geoland must also show independent notability if it is located within a city/town.

 * Delete upon inspection, these all appear to be non-notable neighbourhoods within recognized communities where you can park a mobile home. GEOLAND does not automatically confer notability, therefore. GEOLAND is expressly not a carte blanche for every subdivision. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:17, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. From a couple of quick Google searches, I found that it appears to be fairly big: it covers a large tract on Google Maps, and three condos have been recently on sale. It's not clear if hundreds or thousands of people live there. I'll give it the benefit of doubt that it passes. A news search shows different but similarly named park was hit by a tornado.

 * I'm sorry, but you're the one who doesn't seem to have done his BEFORE work -- as you seem to insinuate the nominator hasn't. Did you notice that the Google news coverage of the trailer park by this name that was damaged by a tornado was in Oklahoma, all this article is about one in Arizona?

 * I looked at the google satellite image and counted approximately 180 spaces, although I did find a source that claimed there were 261 spaces. So that would be a few hundred residents.  There are probably thousands of such Mobile Home parks in Arizona alone (certainly hundreds); this is one of many.  I don't see how some of the properties being listed for sale contribute to notability (that is an entirely routine thing).  The one actual mention of this place in the news that I could find was, back in 2010, that some residents were upset that there were six RVs when they thought the whole park was restricted to manufactured homes. Nothing here to warrant an article. MB 05:37, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete -- a non notable subdivision. I cannot locate sufficient sources to meet GNG. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:08, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as I've been watching this AfD and I frankly believe there's still nothing actually convincing for the needed substance, regardless whether this can be considered an inhabited place for geography. SwisterTwister   talk  06:50, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. A neighborhood does not become notable bevcause 3 mobile homes in it are for sale  DGG ( talk ) 04:19, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
