Another station/siding, as many sites state. Sun Valley was built along the highway just to the north, but by that time the station itself was long gone: this plat which dates to 1950 shows it already demolished. (It also claims that the station was originally called Aztec, which seems to line up with a couple of other sources.) Other than that its extremely limited fame is that the Holbrook meteorite fragments came down around there. I don 't think that's enough to justify an article. Mangoe (talk) 03:03, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

- Delete Yet another WP:STATION. Barns writes that Arntz is a station. Fame of geographic places is not inherited from events like the Holbrook meteorite. Good job on the research. Cxbrx (talk) 04:54, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- It's on the map and the region is known for its meteorites. [1] "arntz"%2B"holbrook" "arntz"%2B"holbrook" [2] [3] "arntz"%2B"meteorite" I see no reason to delete, but perhaps better represented in a list somewhere instead of a standalone article. SportingFlyer T·C 07:10, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete I see a few references that call Arntz a railroad siding but nothing reliable indicates a populated place. Doesn't meet basic notability threshold. The Holbrook meteorite is already discussed in Holbrook, Arizona; I don't see any reason to include reference to Arntz siding. Glendoremus (talk) 19:50, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - Book and newspaper sources refer to a "station" or "siding", not a populated place. The location does not inherit notability from the meteorite. –dlthewave ☎ 02:36, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
