Search results were overwhelmed by a large aircraft boneyard which happens to be in Arizona, but a few pre-1950s sources mention similar place names. It wasn't clear whether Boneyard Canyon or Boneyard Ranch were at this location, but in any case none of them come close to meeting GNG or even verifying the existence of a populated place. –dlthewave ☎ 01:23, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete According to "Arizona Place Names", "The Boneyard, Apache County - In 1880, two men brought cattle from Texas to this high plateau. They froze during the winter and their bleached bones marked the mountain pass for years to come". (not sure whose bones). This is the only Boneyard I find in Apache County and its not a populated place. MB 01:51, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The aircraft boneyard is a mecca for aviation enthusiasts – I worked with one who would make a pilgrimmage there every year. Our article for that is 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group but nobody calls it that – its common name is the Boneyard. So, the worst case here is that we would redirect to that page to help with navigation. The cattle boneyard seems to get some coverage in works like Arizona Highways and Arizona Place Names so perhaps there's some need for disambiguation too. Deletion would help no-one.

According to Aircraft boneyard, there are at least four in Arizona. MB 01:18, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This isn't the aircraft boneyard...the site of cow death is not notable at all. If your suggestion is to redirect, then why the hell are you saying to "keep"? That would help no one. Yet another junk "article" from User:Gilliam that until yesterday said it was an unincorporated community. Reywas92^Talk 15:19, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
