Guerou vil

 * – ( View AfD View log )

unverifiable at the very least, possibly a hoax. I can't find any google hits for "Guero vil" or "Guero airport". The infobox and references were copied from other articles. This airport is not listed at, or. Beloved Freak  18:16, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment IATA codes are a maximum of three letters and the ICAO code GQNF given is certainly the code for Kiffa Airport; however it took a bit of work to find but there is mention of an airport called El Gouera link here (or by entering the ZLG as the IATA code on the IATA search page here. This might be the airport intended and there is at least one redlink for it. I can't find an ICAO code for it though. To complicate the issue, the status of the airport would seem to be open to question as it seems to be near the deserted town of Lagouira which is in contested Western Sahara, in an area claimed by Mauritania  FlowerpotmaN &middot;(t) 21:06, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Despite all that Googling, I'm inclined to think I'm probably very wrong. There is a town called Guerou about 50 km from Kiffa and that would seem more likely. Can't find an airport for it rather than Kiffa though.  FlowerpotmaN &middot;(t) 21:25, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing found to show existence of this airport. Any searches for an airport serving Guerou bring back Kiffa Airport, so unless there are sources offered to prove the existence of the airport, deletion is the only course.  FlowerpotmaN &middot;(t) 21:48, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your research. The whole thing is a little confusing!-- Beloved Freak  21:55, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I think I got a bit caught up in searching all the airport sites there, without going for the more obvious search routes. The El Gouera suggestion was worth mentioning, but it doesn't really pan out given the obvious Kiffa-related edits.  FlowerpotmaN &middot;(t) 22:08, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
