 * Keep Looks like the south rim of the Grand Canyon is in Coconino. Also Grand Canyon and Coconino National Forest in Coconino. waterfall. And here. Lightburst (talk) 19:53, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
 * These links are referring to Coconino County, Arizona, not a town or address (the poster description has omitted "county"). The 1979 topo map (top middle) suggests it's another former siding on the Atchison-Topeka railroad: the Grand Canyon Railway. Unfortunately because Flagstaff's newspaper was the Coconino Sun and it's in Coconino County, I can't find any results about this siding. The next ones down the line are Apex, Arizona, Woodin, Arizona, Willaha, Arizona, and Valle, Arizona (which is an actual town on the highway a few miles from the railroad), but the ones after that (see this link for map) did not have articles made. These could be merged to Grand Canyon Railway. Reywas92Talk 21:09, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that . You are a careful researcher. I see that Coconino County, Arizona already exists and Coconino National Forest exists. The Coconino, Arizona in the nomination adds confussion. My !vote would be to Delete in order to avoid the confusion. Lightburst (talk) 23:00, 13 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment since this shares its name with the name of the county, it's going to be very difficult to search for. SportingFlyer  T · C  00:23, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep This was once the terminus and later the penultimate stop before the Grand Canyon on the Grand Canyon Railway (see here). It is named after Coconino Canyon, which is in turn was named after the Havasupai who were known as the "Coconino" ("wood killers") by the Hopi, and this is how the county was named. We need more on these topics and this location, not a redirect to the railway article.(,, etc)Pontificalibus  07:32, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep per Pontificalibus. Does appear to be notable enough. -DJSasso (talk) 18:50, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep While finding sources is quite hard because the county has the same name, Pontificalibus shows good work here. This is another from a large batch of poorly BEFORE'd Arizona AfDs. CaptainEek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 20:34, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per the sources found by Pontificalibus; despite the difficulty in finding them, they certainly seem to be out there. (Also, reducing confusion with similarly-named places isn't a valid reason to delete articles; by that logic, we should delete Los Angeles to avoid confusion with Los Angeles County.)
