Atlantis of the Sands
Article is a copy and paste of information that makes no sense at all. I have lots of experience in copy-editing and there is nothing I can do for this page. JenLouise 06:08, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Whoa. This does have a strong aura of psychoceramica about it. Not to mention original research. -- Captain Disdain 06:44, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Err... I don't think I caught a word of that. tmopkisn tlka 06:58, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Michael 07:15, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete for being thoroughly bizarre. That said, someone might want to try to get their hands on Fiennes' book (is that the title of it?) and see exactly what it does say regarding Ubar and other places in Dhofar. As I understand it, and this is very second-hand information filtered through a fair amount of Omani legend-spinning, the location of Ubar by Fiennes was a pretty important archaeological find.

 * Delete, borderline patent nonsense. If there's a book that calls Ubar the "Atlantis of the Sands" there may be cause for a redirect.  Smerdis of Tlön 14:20, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, unless some verifiable sources can be cited and a major cleanup undertaken. Scorpiondollprincess 14:32, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
