This is a peculiar article because it seems to be and is "said to be a place" but there's not much information and searches find nothing good and there have hardly been significant edits since starting in August 2005, to this article with mostly "claims" and not facts and such. This has been tagged for familiar attention since November 2008 and considering it's the Middle East, this isn't surprising. Pinging tagger. SwisterTwister  talk  05:01, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

 * This placename/location pair does indeed appear in the U.S. federal government's NGA GNS database, as evidenced by my bot's edit here. Note that the coordinates there are typically truncated to degrees and minutes of arc only, so the argument about the features on the map might possibly be incorrect. However, I can't find any references on the web to this that are not either derived from this article itself, or obviously generated from a database, and there are no mentions of the place in any book Google has ever scanned: I suspect it may have been a copyright trap on a map somewhere once, and got vacuumed up into the GNS. In the absence of any other evidence for its existence, I propose that this article be deleted. -- The Anome (talk) 07:05, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
