Non-notable destination - I can't quite figure out what's actually there. Ecoleetage (talk) 01:39, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I added the latitude and longitude from the GEOnet Names Server. Perhaps someone has access to Algerian census data which could be used to expand the article. The article describes it as a settlement, which would make the place notable on the basis of "all villages are notable". Another source refers to it as a well, which in the Sahara Desert is also notable. --Eastmain (talk) 02:43, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. most geographic based locals are accepted as notable. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 03:00, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per Eastmain and Brewcrewer. I also found this French link:. The main reason I am voting weak keep rather than keep is that based on the actual reading of WP:N this place does not appear to be notable. It does seem to pass the proposed guideline WP:NPT however which presumably has sufficient consensus. Nsk92 (talk) 03:08, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * No comment -this article shouldn't even be here. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦       $1,000,000? 09:31, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete This place does not exist, or at least it isn't recognised by Algeria as a seperate municipality. Municipalities of Algeria gives a list of all of them with census information, and In Oudad is not on there. I'm an Editorofthewiki[citation needed] 10:29, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well actually the place does exist as the coordinates are avialable for it and I stubbed the article some two years ago from an atlas. However I agree with the wiki editor that there is very little web info on it and little evidence of verification. Perhaps it is a different name for some place which has many google hits but is "hidden". There are many places like Aïn Bouyahia etc which have very few hits or verification either ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦       $1,000,000? 10:34, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep.--SkyWalker (talk) 12:49, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep as above. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 15:47, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Towns and villages are inherently notable regardless of size.--Oakshade (talk) 18:37, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. Settlements, towns, villages are inherently notable. WilliamH (talk) 19:32, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
