Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Autumn Ridge, Arizona
This is not actually a "populated place" per our Wikipedia guidelines. The GNIS notes: "Place or area with clustered or scattered buildings and a permanent human population (city, settlement, town, village). '''A populated place is usually not incorporated and by definition has no legal boundaries.''' However, a populated place may have a corresponding "civil" record, the legal boundaries of which may or may not coincide with the perceived populated place. Distinct from Census and Civil classes." (emphasis mine) It appears to be a subdevelopment, wholly within an already legally populated place, which has a USGS database entry for some reason. Other similar entries include Desert Village Mobile Home Park, Arizona - there are 867 in total of which 25% are mobile home parks, so it is not as if the database is capturing unincorporated towns, and the two most recent non-mobile trailer park additions are not cities but subdevelopments, suggesting we cannot use this dataset in good faith with , which is meant to identify populated places. The three kickers for me: 1) this place has no legally recognised census count, 2) this place is wholly located within a legally recognised place and 3) this place definitively fails . The  is important here because nobody recognises this place as a place except for the USGS, and while every distinct housing subdevelopment in Phoenix typically receives its own name. Since  only creates a presumption of notability, albeit a very strong presumption as we are a gazetteer, this is a good example of a place which we do '''not''' need to have an entry for
