Calumet, Arizona

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This was nominated sometime back as part of a failed group nom, but the argument made back then certainly applies here: everything says that this was named after the Calumet Mine because it was where the siding to the mine originated from. There's no suggestion of an actual settlement. Mangoe (talk) 21:40, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with nom, looks like this was an industrial site, I can't see anything to confirm this is a populated place. Deathlibrarian (talk) 16:25, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Concur with nom, no evidence this was a community. I found "A Short History of the Calumet and Arizona Mining Company" which is 7-8 pages and it never mentions any place by this name except for Calumet, Michigan where the company originated. MB 05:54, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per all above. This is not a legally recognized place that would pass WP:GEOLAND.   - Why was this relisted?  There appeared to be a pretty strong consensus to delete. Hog Farm Bacon 15:38, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Neither notability nor populated place for this locale is established. Examined USGS historic topographic maps back to 1914. On the 1914 Douglas, Arizona, 1:62,500 qaudranagle, "Calumet," elevation 3953 feet, shows up as a railroad siding for the Calmuet and Arizona Smelter. About the same appears on sucessively younger maps until the 1955 Douglas 1:125,000 qaudrangle, where the siding and smelter disappear and only the name and an unknown symbol on the railroad track remains. For the more recent 1:24,000 qaudrangles, only the name remains. Calumet appears to be an abandoned railroad siding that lacks any significance and indication of having been a populated place at any time. Paul H. (talk) 19:32, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
