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. ~  Pog ing  Juan  05:21, 18 October 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 05:54, 25 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 09:55, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - As it stands, there is no reliable sourcing that demonstrates legal recognition as required by GEOLAND. Maps show only a railroad siding at this location. –dlthewave ☎ 19:32, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - I can only turn up passing mentions to this as a rail stop and the location of a historic marker for a Civil War battle completely unrelated to the site. Hog Farm Talk 01:06, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment - plenty of mentions of this place during the 20s and 30s: this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and this. Also mentions here, here  Onel 5969  TT me 15:04, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * My wikipedia library newspapers.com has lapsed, so I can't check the first few, but the neither of the last two links there is useful for establishing notability - one is a caption for a picture of a train driving through rail spot with nothing there but cactus, and the other is a reference to a rail switch.

 * These are all passing mentions, mainly in relation to the railroad or unrelated events that took place in the vicinity. I don't see anything here that would contribute to GNG or provide useful content for the article. –dlthewave ☎ 02:43, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. Arizona Place Names on page 310 says it is a railroad siding, notable for being one of the first places to be named on the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1881.  The entry for Picacho Pass on page 302 says that the train station was about one mile southeast of the present Wymola siding on the SPRR.  I looked at the newspapers.com links posted above and all of them mention Wymola in the context of the Southern Pacific Railroad, the one that doesn't necessarily give the SPRR context but doesn't give the impression that Wymola is a settlement of any kind, and the April 16, 1928 article linked above with the dateline of Wymola even refers to it as "this little flag station".

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete. Non-notable railroad siding that does not meet WP:STATION.  No legal recognition, no non-trivial coverage.  I feel for  Onel 5969 , the wholesale retaliatory edits were uncalled for and inappropriate, but in this case, WP:GNG and WP:GEOLAND are not met. Cxbrx (talk) 15:10, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
