An article on a neighborhood in Arizona ... Google search turns up nothing that if I googled the title of the neighborhood in which I grew up would not turn up (i.e. Mapquest, Zillow, perhaps an elementary school site, etc.) ... does not meet WP:GNG Go Phightins! 05:09, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. According to the USGS (25035), Rainbow Valley is a populated place, a U6 unincorporated community. There is also a valley by same name nearby. • Gene93k (talk) 14:28, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was just reading some notability guidelines and failed to find any that seemed specifically applicable, but places are not my area of expertise, so I will defer to you—does that automatically confer notability? Go Phightins! 03:17, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a policy, but WP:GEOLAND spells it out. Clarityfiend (talk) 15:27, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep. By longstanding general consensus, populated named places are notable. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:33, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Populated places are considered notable as part of Wikipedia's function as a gazetteer, according to longstanding precedent. The page should be moved to Rainbow Valley, Arizona though, according to WP:USPLACE. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 09:15, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's note - I could not tell whether or not this qualified as a populated place and was solely judging it on GNG, which it does not meet, however if it is considered a populated place and thus meets notability consensus, would anyone object if I withdrew my nomination, closed this discussion, and moved it to Rainbow Valley, Arizona per TheCatalyst31?
