Another Somali town, this one "unverified" on geonames, and the coordinates find a blank area. It shows up as a dot on a UN map, but there's no narrative, and the UN maps have proven iffy. Mangoe (talk) 01:24, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

 * No, it does not. Dots on maps are not sufficient verification: we have found over and over that there isn't anything where these maps have a dot. If there was a UN document that talked about some activity at a place, yes, that would be corroborating, but a dot is not good enough. For all we know, it's simply copied from the geonames data.

 * Delete from WP:NGEO: This guideline specifically excludes maps and census tables from consideration when establishing topic notability, because these sources often establish little except the existence of the subject. The fact that it appears as a dot on a UN map does not establish notability. Furthermore the fact that there doesn't appear to be anything at this location calls the map into question.
