three suggestions... I will check for bugs later Select Layer By Attribute—Data Management toolbox | Documentation  syntax for ... arcpy.SelectLayerByAttribute_management(chihuahua_cities, 'SUBSET_SELECTION', '"population" > 10000') I notice that you are assigning the results to a variable... that might be the reason that they get deleted ... (my first guess) Otherwise try remove the try-except block... you don't need it, if something goes wrong, you would get the same error anyway.  Something is reminding me about results and try-except block when they finish without errors, and I can't pin it down. this is in desperation.  Save the featurelayer within the source gdb. desperation 2.  Try featureclass to featureclass (with an sql query instead of the make featurelayer) obviously for the last 2, no try-except block and only a smaller sample to test ...

Bryce... you are  making a layer from a  featureclass from a gdb then you do make a selection from that layer finally you copy the layer with its selection to a new gdb hence, the selected features will be copied to the new featureclass in your destination gdb. If you were running this with ArcGIS Pro, AND had your geoprocessing options set to add results to the display, then the layer (with its selection) should have been added to your active map display and would have been saved if the project was saved. Since this appears to be a standalone script, only the destination gdb will get the results of the query and copying. There is nothing in your script that shows how this is running.  If it is a standalone script, then it knows nothing about the project you are working with. It appears from  FeederNumber = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) this script might be associated with a tool running in arctoolbox...  Can you confirm your TOC before and after running this script and whether you are overwriting existing data? I only see one reference in the options settings about removing existing layers in a TOC References from. Copy Features—Data Management toolbox | Documentation  ... View more

I think "remove" applies to these circumstances remove a command that you added to a new group., remove a group that you added to an existing tab or to a new tab remove a new tab that you added. and from the Note there Removing a group removes all its commands.
