Qur al Rikibi

These articles are part of a series of tens of geographical stubs (settlements as well as mountains) created some ten years ago, presumably as part of a WP page creation drive. They all fail WP:V, GNG and WP:GEOLAND. I've done BEFORE on them as well as following the markers (which all lead to random terrain, scrubland, wadi beds and, in one case, an oil terminal) and they are all simply misleading cruft that has led to thousands of pages of rubbish spawning all over the Internet and obscuring the actual, verifiable geography of the UAE. I'm completing this nomination on behalf of  who wrote the nomination and did Before. Szzuk (talk) 08:13, 16 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment. As noted I completed this nomination for another user. I think we should delete all of these articles per the nom's argument. I believe these were created in error, they basically pinpoint to somewhere else, in some cases a different country, and google searches don't return anything that could be used for WP:V.
