 * Delete: Google Maps search returns: Maps can't find Geelaqa. This article is an obvious hoax.  Eye snore  00:58, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I doubt that it's hoax in the sense that the editor in question made it up. Given its age it's more liely it was eliminated from geonames or whatever other service was used as a source. Mangoe (talk) 02:22, 15 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete absolutely nothing verifiable. Brycehughes (talk) 02:43, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete and I'm checking for other 2009 Somalia creations by Starzynka. Obviously bot-generated from a list of place names which appears to have been inaccurate. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 21:02, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I've found something: a "Geelaq" appears in in Belet Xaawo district.   has a Google map for that location. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 21:29, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Check to find these maps for other parts of Somalia. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 21:32, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth that map apparently labels Kenya as Ethiopia. Brycehughes (talk) 08:09, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I've had a lot of trouble getting those UN maps to line up with the present, and I found a picture supposedly from Geelaq which shows a kid jumping into the ocean. Mangoe (talk) 12:35, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Another NOTTHERE town. L3X1  ◊distænt write◊  16:52, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
