The only Tohono Oʼodham San Louis/San Luis that I can turn up are either the other Arizona one (the San Luis Wash in USDI 1941, p. 25) or one in Mexico (San Luis Babi according to Hodge 1907, pp. 201, 447). Uncle G (talk) 17:25, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- It doesn't pass GNG or have SIGCOV. It would better fit as merged, or just redirected to Pima County. बिनोद थारू (talk) 18:55, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think that we'd need documentation that it even exists, first, and isn't some random cartographic rubbish that the GNIS has ossified. Hodge 1907, p. 201 has a laundry list of placenames for "Papago" settlements, and it isn't on it. USDI 1941 is a whole report on place names, and it isn't in it. It has the San Luis Wash on page 25, and a San Luis village on page 14 at (it says) 32°05′00″N 111°57′30″W / 32.08333°N 111.95833°W / 32.08333; -111.95833 on a bend of the Wash. But no San Luis anywhere near where this San Luis is purported to be. This claims to be a second San Luis. But Hodge 1907, p. 449 tells us that the Tohono Oʼodham San Luis, a second one, is in Mexico. Uncle G (talk) 19:31, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. From WP:GEOLAND,

The Geographic Names Information System and the GEOnet Names Server do not satisfy the "legal recognition" requirement and are also unreliable for "populated place" designation.

Yet those are the only sources. बिनोद थारू (talk) 18:56, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is not a notable geographic location and it fails WP:GEOLAND. There is no RS to that I could find and on a map it looks like this. The other San Louis in Yuma is notable San Luis, Arizona Lightburst (talk) 01:08, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per Uncle G's investigation, it's not even clear that this place exists.
