The first nom failed procedurally, so here we are again. It's still an extremely isolated siding on an now abandoned line, and I note that on the most recent topos as well as on GMaps there is an artificial pond labelled "Chiricahua Siding Tank". There is literally nothing man-made in something like a ten mile radius except for AZ Route 80, some side roads, a few ponds, and the scar of the old railbed, still plain as can be something like 30-40 years after abandonment. The oldest topo I found showed the same, except the rails were still there. There isn't the slightest possibility there was ever a settlement here. Mangoe (talk) 03:42, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is the slightest possibility there was a settlement there, quite a ways back. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] However given the entire area is known as the Chiricahuas, it's impossible to verify. SportingFlyer T·C 11:44, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete But see also [6], which tells you not to bother looking for any settlements. SportingFlyer T·C 11:46, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There's nothing there now, and if we can't even conclusively confirm what this place was or whether it was considered a settlement at any point, we shouldn't have an article on it. (I checked, but I couldn't find anything more conclusive than what SportingFlyer did, just some information about a Chiricahua Development Company that ran a mine somewhere in the area.)

Redirect. Still a plausible search term. Redirect to Chiricahua (disambiguation)#Chiricahua, Arizona. MB 18:38, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - There is not, and never was, a legally recognized community at this site. None of the dab page entries seem to be known as "Chirachua, Arizona", so I'm unconvinced that proposed redirect is particularly helpful. Hog Farm _Bacon 16:02, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
