Acqua Uadi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Another Somali geography problem, worse than most. Geonames seems to think this is a "variant" on some utterly different placename, itself "unverified"; the coords once again drop into the middle of nowhere. Google searching is plagued by false hits, as both parts of the name are apparently common components, but the exact phrase only hits the usual mirrors and geography search traps.

 * Delete - I agree with the nom. The geo coordinates show simply an unpopulated patch of desert.  I'm not finding anything with this name in relation to Somalia.  Who's creating these articles? --Oakshade (talk) 22:49, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Most articles like this were created by people making stubs on every entry in certain gazetteers or simply every entry on geonames on the premise they must exist, therefore are notable. This one is from 2011, but there are so many, especially in Somalia seemingly, where they simply don't exist, and since it is unclear whether there is even a government at all, there are no official designations.

 * Keep This area of the Nugaal has over the past decade been the scene of fighting over prospective oil discoveries between three governments; Khatumo, Somaliland and Puntland. Off course the byproduct of this is that settling in this area has become a political conundrum. The fact that none of the previous commentators have acknowledged that fact makes me feel that i should add balance to this discussion. 92.9.152.17 (talk) 23:41, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Comment the Dutch article points to El Uaesed which is also picked up by OpenStreetMap when you search for Acqua Uadi (possibly because of the Wikilink?). SportingFlyer (talk) 07:21, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
