OK, this has come up again in my review because now the "location" is in a different county, but actually the problem is still these are two different locations being conflated into one. Look, the rail location Growler is over sixty miles from the mining site, and it has no indication that it was ever anything more than a passing siding; it's not a relocation of the supposed mining town. It should be deleted, and the Growler Mine Area article needs to stop being a redirect and have all the NHRP-derived stuff copied back into it. The Growler Mountains are a big enough area that multiple things got named "Growler". If people feel that "Growler, Arizona" needs to redirect to the NHRP article, or that there needs to be a new town article geographically distinct from the mine, well, I'm not keen on either of these but I won't complain too much. The current situation, though, is just ridiculous. Mangoe (talk) 03:31, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Having looked at the source used to justify the third set of coordinates, I don't know why they differ from the NRHP data but they appear to refer to the same place. Therefore I don't see a reason for two articles. Mangoe (talk) 03:46, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge to Growler Mine Area. I agree this is confusing. I voted delete at the last AFD because when nominated, this article was a sub-stub about a NN rail siding listed as a populated place in GNIS. Then it was pointed out that there was a notable mine and Growler Mine Area was created. Somehow, most of the info about the mine was added to this article and the mine title was turned into a redirect here. Most of this article (about the mine) should be moved back into Growler Mine Area and then this deleted as this is not populated place that should have a stand alone article. The current article is misleading to say there is a "new Growler" that is a populated place. MB 21:50, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge per MB and delete everything about the railroad siding. To be perfectly clear: The siding is not notable, it should not be covered within the NRHP article and it should not have its own standalone article. –dlthewave ☎ 03:02, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
