 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - Per nom. There is also a complete absence of references. This article has been up for nearly ten years but shows no signs of improvement to its name. Parsley Man (talk) 05:49, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep There are a several sources online in which people describe themselves as being from Abba.  There is also a widely replicated story about a king dying two days before inauguration in one of the communities of Abba.  I added two references, one that defines the term, and a Nigerian government reference that shows the term being used officially.  Anything else is an editing problem.

 * Keep, I tried and failed to find an official government source a while ago, but found enough to indicate that the place existed and was likely officially recognized, and so was hesitant to vote delete. Thanks to Unscintillating's referencing, the subject now passes WP:GEOLAND standards. Cleanup needed but that's not the purpose of AFD. Antepenultimate (talk) 20:56, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - I added the coordinates from Google Maps where it's clearly marked - see screenshot http://imgur.com/a/cYz4o. It's clearly a place with plenty of references of people being from there. It may be a small town but it still qualifies. —Мандичка YO 😜 06:30, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
