Petroglyphs of Quiaca

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is one of five articles created recently -Labyrinth City, Ixiamas Fortress, Ruins of Miraflores, Madeira Fortress, Trinchera Fortress and Petroglyphs of Quiaca- all sourced to or based on Yuri Leveratte and his personal website at. I can't find reliable sources to show that it meets WP:GNG. I'm taking them to AfD individually as someone might possibly come up with sources even though I've failed.

 * Delete, due to being at the twilight zone where notability problems and WP:FRINGE overlap. Even if we could find another (independent) source with substantial coverage, I doubt it would represent a mainstream view of this kind of topic so we may never be able to have neutral content on this topic. bobrayner (talk) 23:17, 22 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep: these petroglyphs are important. It is true that when I created the article, for lack of time, I added only the source of the Italian antropologist that described them, anyway other sources can be add.Franciscos58 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Franciscos58 (talk • contribs) 15:53, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
 * CommentLeveratto is not an anthropologist but a fringe author. Among other places, he publishes in Nexus magaxine, and their website sayd NEXUS is a bi-monthly alternative news magazine covering health breakthroughs, future science and technology, suppressed news, free energy, religious revisionism, conspiracy, the environment, history and ancient mysteries, the mind, UFOs, paranormal and the unexplained." He has no credentials in archaeology or anthropology and his work experience is as a guide and working for cruise lines. Dougweller (talk) 16:05, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of notability. Paul B (talk) 21:05, 26 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete: No evidence of notability, all sources are self published -- see WP:SPS. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:22, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: No evidence of notability and sources are not reliable. By the way-all these photos on the five pages - that are from Leveratto's website, were apparently uploaded to Wikimedia Commons by the author. Does that mean he also wrote these WP articles himself, citing himself as the source? I assume so.Nickm57 (talk) 11:41, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Good catch! If he keeps it up I will open up a case at WP:COIN. --Guy Macon (talk) 14:02, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
