The result was procedural close. This discussion was one of a large number of disruptive, retaliatory nominations of articles from (see WP:ANI), made in such quick succession that they cannot have individually determined that there is a reason for deletion. If there are other editors in good standing that think this article should be deleted, please feel free to open a new discussion. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 06:54, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Article does not meet WP:NGF. Subject lakcs WP:IS WP:RS with WP:SIGCOV that address the subject directly and in-depth. Not an encyclopedic topic. Too many articles of this kind, oh my God! ~  Pog ing  Juan  05:25, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - meets WP:GEOLAND. This appears to be a spate of retaliatory edits by this editor after they disagreed with an edit I made on one of the articles they created. Onel 5969  TT me 09:59, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - Fails GEOLAND due to lack of legal recognition of significant coverage. Maps show a few old foundations next to a spring, but I could not find any coverage beyond GNIS that describes this an actual village/populated place or tells us anything at all beyond the name and location. –dlthewave ☎ 18:36, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * comment This is also listed in an appendix to an Arizona Department of Health Services report in 2006 as an "American Indian community". However, it appears to be the only year in which it is mentioned, so I'm concerned about the reliability of the data. At any rate, the only other information beyond mere existence is that it was supposedly a Hopi settlement. Mangoe (talk) 21:07, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:GEOLAND. The Arizona Place Names book refers to it as Wepo Springs, Wepo Valley, or Wepo Wash and mentioned that it is the location of certain Hopi ceremonial races, especially around the opening of the snake ceremony, which came up when I was searching on Newspapers.com for the name.  Possible rename or additional clarification in the article.  Reference added.  RecycledPixels (talk) 22:27, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
