Ebute Metta

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article does not cite any references and has had no ref tag since 2009 with no improvement. Fails GNG. Delta13C (talk) 22:20, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Google Books shows numerous references. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 23:33, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. As G Kegg says, there are plenty of sources in Google Books and some of them are quite strong. It's clearly a fairly large place in Lagos. The nominator should have done a bit of research before this AFD. Philafrenzy (talk) 01:14, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep:WP:GEOLAND states "Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low." Generally and geographical location with a name and proof it exists or existed are kept. Having no references is not a reason to delete nor is the amount of time it has the no ref tag on it. Google Book searches are also not a guarantee of notability they may lead to a reliable source to show notability but not a reliable source on their own, in fact the reference should be the book itself not Google. With the references which are now in the article this will be a keep even though some clean-up is still needed.McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 18:06, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
