Golol

This isn't a Somali town, and it isn't called Golol. Its name, according to geonames, is "Ximan Golol", and it's a waterhole. Are waterholes notable? Anyway, the aerial confirms that there's no town there or indeed anything recognizable. Mangoe (talk) 11:32, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete If it doesn't exist, then it's a hoax and can be speedyied. Also, who keeps creating these random Somali articles about towns that don't exist? I swear I've seen 5 similar articles over the past couple of days. 💵Money emoji💵Talk 14:16, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Some years back, a couple of people apparently just dumped entries from a geonames mirror without paying much attention to what they were doing. Unfortunately it's difficult to determine ahead of time which ones came in this way and which ones are legit (and which are accidentally legit), so I'm going over each one separately.
