Krokodilpoort

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The only development to this article since its creation has been going from "Small town in Transvaal in South Africa." to "Krokodilpoort is a town in Mpumalanga, South Africa." In eleven years, we went from seven words to eight. Coordinates were imported in 2009 from an article on the Swedish Wikipedia which was soon thereafter redirected. I tried several times to find concrete mentions of this place on the internet, but the only thing I could find was the 'Krokodilpoort Mountain Bike Challenge' which is actually held near Witrivier. The coordinates point to a railway station near the Krokodilrivier but there isn't as much as a hamlet nearby, never mind a town. Concerns about the existence of this place were raised as early as October 2002. Perhaps we should delete this article, as it's not clear that this place even exists. eh bien mon prince (talk) 05:30, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. I checked NGI maps as well, and Krokodilpoort is clearly just a railway siding, not a settlement of any type. No prejudice to recreation if someone wants to write an article under the same title about the mountain pass traversed by the N4 and the railway. - htonl (talk) 08:18, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete, having looked at the maps, it seems like it might be a hoax or a misunderstanding to me as well. Lankiveil (speak to me) 13:27, 11 March 2014 (UTC).
