Mobile home parks are not inherently notable. This one fails both WP:GEOLAND and WP:GNG Lightburst (talk) 04:08, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep - seems to be a bit of retaliatory nom (along with 4 other articles) for Articles for deletion/John McHugh Sr., which now seems to be headed for the deletion. And since this editor has never shown a propensity for Arizona geography articles. Passes WP:GEOLAND, since, according to GNIS it is has a "an official federally recognized name."

 * Comment My !voting record and AfD participation is available for anyone to see. I participate on multiple AfDs across every subject. I am sure Onel5969 has acted in good faith in creating these many non-notable Geoland articles. Unfortunately the fifty or so articles must all be nominated since they do not come close to satisfying SNG or GNG. Since the many articles created are not Legally recognized per the SNG of WP:GEOLAND - they must then pass WP:GNG as Populated places without legal recognition. They clearly do not pass.

 * Delete A NN manufactured-home subdivision. Does not meet GNG as required under GEOLAND#2 (subdivisions, business parks, housing developments, etc.) This is clearly not a legally recognized populated place (GEOLAND#1) despite having a name in GNIS. The GNIS citation is to "YELLOW PAGES". Having an entry is the yellow pages does not bestow legal recognition, even if parroted in GNIS. No reasonable target for a redirect.

 * Delete mobile home parks do not pass GEOLAND #1 on their own if they're part of a larger community like this one is, and this mobile home park does not pass WP:GNG. SportingFlyer  T · C  06:30, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Zero evidence of notability. Mobile home parks are not legally recognized populated places merely because they are listed in a database of places on a map. Reywas92Talk 09:27, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment - 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 02:22, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
