I can't find any evidence that this settlement exists. It claims to be the site of the Pipe Spring National Monument, but that monument's website gives its address as Fredonia, Arizona. Brian the Editor (talk) 21:36, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Pipe Spring National Monument. There's no entry for Pipe Springs, Arizona in the Geographic Names Information System, but there are several mentions of a place by this name in survey documents and the like ([1] and [2], for example). At any rate, the sources never indicate that this was a community as opposed to a ranch or other locality, and it seems to have been absorbed into the national monument at this point.

Redirect per what TheCatalyst said. --P C B 22:22, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The monument is referred to as "springs" by Pearson Corbett in Jacob Hamblin, Peacemaker and some maps. Historian David Lavender makes it singular, "Pipe Spring and the Arizona Strip".

That says it all, really. It's always good when sources make the AFD arguments for us. ☺ Uncle G (talk) 01:01, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
