El Garas

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I acknowledge that I was the dipshit who reworked this from a district to a town in 2020, but when it came back into my orphaned short pages queue, I realized that was a fuckup. The only "El Garas" or "Ceel Garas" on Geonames in Galguduud is carded as a watering hole, not a town or even a populated place. I can't find any other source that indicates otherwise. In fact, it was deleted once before as such (see Articles for deletion/Ceel Garas), but this existed already as an unlabelled duplicate, so here we are again! &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 22:27, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment I'm seeing mention of an El Garas village here and in other reports of the conflict. I can't find anything to show that it's legally recognized, though. Rusalkii  (talk) 00:50, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment - this article has 'Ceelgaras' down as a town. Not sure if that is conclusive or not. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 16:41, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
 * That's a wordpress blog. Not sure we can take it as an RS for anything. And in any case, even if we did, it still doesn't indicate legal recognition, so the place would have to meet GNG. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 23:06, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
