No evidence of a town or community here. The "populated place" description is sourced to GNIS and Hometown Locator which are not reliable for Feature Class designations. Reliable sources only discuss the historic schoolhouse which is covered at Mount Trumbull School, Arizona. –dlthewave ☎ 03:50, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep, clearly a populate place as the refs show. Nom has stated that GNIS is not a reliable source for Feature Class designations. This is based on an essay the nom wrote themselves. Mt. Trumbull was included in the 1930 census [https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/decennial/1930/population-volume-1/03815512v1ch03.pdf see here, page 96, with a population of 111. Once this is kept, the stub about the schoolhouse, should be redirected to this article.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:22, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Also known as Bundyville. This article appears to be a RS and says the community had almost 200 residents in the 1930s. This also calls it a settlement. It's mentioned in others that are probably not reliable such as this which said it had a post office from 1919 to 1950. This says an NAU article said it was the biggest community of the Arizona Strip at one time (first half 20th c.) I think it should probably be moved to Bundyville, Arizona and the Mount Trumbull School, Arizona merged in since they are both very small and closely related. MB 21:58, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The issue with Bundyville, is that they were not on the census, Trumbull was, therefore Trumbull was the officially designated location. As the one source says, "On the map, Bundyville is actually called Mount Trumbull". Bundyville is a nickname.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 23:17, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The majority of the sources indicate it was most commonly called Bundyville. Mount Trumbull, Arizona can be the redirect. MB 23:57, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, two of the sources you link, state that the real name is Mount Trumbull, and the other two state, "Bundyville is synonymous with 'Mount Turnbull" and "Bundyville (also known as Mount Trumbull)". Since the official government designation is Mount Trumbull, as shown in the census, the article should remain titled as such. But those are great sources to expand the stub.

Keep per refs, satisfies NGEO. Djflem (talk) 20:40, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agree Mount Trumbull School, Arizona (which should be Mount Trumbull School (Arizona) or simply Mount Trumbull School (no disam needed) can be merged here. New redirect from Bundyville, Arizona to this article is in order. Djflem (talk) 14:21, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and convert Mount Trumbull School, Arizona into a redirect. The WP:BLAR process for "MT School, AZ" will add to the sourcing for this article. – S. Rich (talk) 21:37, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
