Rail siding with no evidence of a community. The airport just to the West is Eric Marcus Municipal Airport, a former Army airfield that has no association with the railroad. – dlthewave ☎ 16:14, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

- Delete This best description is in the AZ Highways article: "Six miles out of Ajo, at the Childs way-station, we make our first stop to deliver 50 pounds of much-appreciated ice to a section gang." No evidence this was any kind of legally recognized community. Fails GEOLAND. MB 19:20, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- Delete This is a siding. WP:STATION is not met because there is not significant coverage. The 1972 newspaper article does state that there were children at Childs, so Childs likely had people living there (though I suppose there could have been a school with the children residing elsewhere). However, it is not a legally-recognized community and it is non-notable. WP:GEOLAND and WP:GNG are not met. Awhile back, I worked on this article a bit but I did not find much. 01:16, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- Delete It looks like the research shows this is a siding that was mislabeled as a community. The best evidence there is of anyone living there is from a joke on its name, which isn't a good sign. TheCatalyst31 Reaction• Creation 04:42, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
