Arizona article stubs that fail WP:GEOLAND edit

I am adding these here as I go through them with the hopes of doing a bulk AfD, as they're all sourced to a database that doesn't reliably prove WP:GEOLAND:

Checked by me edit

  • Alma Gardens, Arizona (a mobile home park and senior center [1] [2] (searched address on second source)
  • Amberwood, Arizona and Amberwood II, Arizona housing subdevelopment [3] [4] and company [5]
  • Amberwood North, Arizona may deserve a standalone AfD as it's the after-the-fact name of a neighborhood [6]
  • Ambrosia Mill, Arizona not a town, but rather a mill which made manganese more manganese-y [7]
  • Andalusia, Arizona took awhile to find anything, but it's just a housing subdevelopment [8]
  • Apache Wells, Arizona either a country club and mobile home park. Might meet WP:GNG. [9]
  • at AfD Basking Ridge, Arizona I have absolutely no idea what this is supposed to be - all I get are database entries, and a newspaper search brings up only Basking Ridge, New Jersey (turns out it's a subdivision)
  • Belaire Manor, Arizona a mobile home park. [10]
  • Co-op Village, Arizona I can't find anything that references this place at all, but it is on the Gila River reservation.
  • Desert Hills, Arizona This one isn't even in the GNIS database, though probably can't include in a bulk delete it since there's prose
  • Desert Vista Estates III, Arizona Not just a subdivision, but the third phase of a subdivision. No results for "III", I have to just search "Desert Vista Estates" [11]
  • East Mesa, Arizona Appears to be a subdivision, though this will probably need to be nominated separately as there are a lot of results for east Mesa (sic on capitalisation)
  • Fennemore, Arizona No results for any locality with the name, though there is a station in a location in West Phoenix on OpenStreetMap. Won't delete, but noting I couldn't really find anything
  • Road Junction Windmill, Arizona I have to write something here apart from "Yeah, nah" for those reading this for the first time, but a Newspapers.com search brought up nothing, a Google search brought up directories based on the GNIS, I even asked the corpse of Jeeves and found nothing. It is, literally, a windmill at the junction of two four wheel drive only forest roads (though now there are six solar panels at the site!)

Added by Reywas92, unchecked by me unless noted edit

Mobile home parks

Subdivisions/housing developments

Other

Crossings

All appear to be named crossings of rivers, with no evidence of a community ever existing. GNIS's classification as populated places is erroneous. e.g. Jones Crossing
