• Delete Even if it weren't actually a locale, there's nothing establishing notability. Reywas92^Talk 22:16, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete does not meet our criteria for inclusion. Lightburst (talk) 22:30, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge. There is some usage of this name such as this, so I would add a mention in La Paz County, Arizona as a named location in the county. No evidence it is/was a populated place of any kind or meets GNG to have a separate article. GNIS picked this up from a county road map. It's hard to track down any history of the name since it is common (Centennial High School, etc). It's clearly an exit on I-10, but the exit in Interstate 10 in Arizona is just labeled "Avenue 75E". This section of I-10 was opened in 1973, and the county highway map is dated 1986???, so not sure if the name precedes I-10. MB 23:44, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The 1990 topo shows the Centennial Wash (Maricopa County), they likely copied the name of that on the highway map, and then the DOT used that name about this crash. Reywas92^Talk 02:37, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I didn't find the connection to Centennial Wash - that explains where the name of the highway exit came from. The wash does seem to be the closest thing to the exit that had a name. But the entry in GNIS says 1984, so the name had been associated with the exit way before this crash. I still think merge is appropriate, either to La Paz County, Arizona or maybe to Interstate 10 in Arizona. MB 05:37, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete looking at historical topos, there has never been anything here except a freeway interchange. Fails

• Comment. Unsure about this one. More research is needed. Bearian (talk) 17:55, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Note It is located at the point where the Centennial Wash crosses the Interstate 10 via the Centennial Wash Siphon, the "world's largest pre-stressed concrete pipe". This crossing is discussed in multiple sources e.g. [1], but there is no mention of a settlement there in 1975.----Pontificalibus 18:56, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Listing a place does not make it notable. PenulisHantu (talk) 05:21, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete in the absence of any supporting evidence that this is or was a populated place. I can't see how a merge is possible, it would be unfeasible for the La Paz County, Arizona article to mention all named locations in the county other than communities.----Pontificalibus 17:34, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - I don't see any sources except being on a handful of maps. Bearian (talk) 19:21, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
