Sarasah, Padang

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article is about a waterfall that may not meet WP:GNG. Google search doesn't seem to return any reliable source. The page reads like an essay, and (if keep) needs to be moved to a better title. It was WP:PROD but the template was removed without reason. Joshua Talk to me What I've done? 13:07, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Keep Can't find the precise coords but it appears to be in the Harau Valley (here). Google returns many spectacular photos and several hundred other hits (Google for "Sarasah waterfall" in quotes). -Arb. (talk) 01:24, 23 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Existence does not confer notability. "Sarasah" appears to mean "waterfall" in the local Minangkabau language, so it could mean any of the waterfalls in the area. Harau Valley is in Lima Puluh Kota, which is way further inland from Padang. My guess is that the article probably means the Sarasah Gadut waterfall, which was covered in an Indonesia TV news report (Youtube video, also on the Jakarta Globe newspaper website), but I am not sure whether that is sufficient to warrant an article.-- Joshua Talk to me What I've done? 10:49, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak delete I dug around and came to the same conclusion as Joshua, I do think that this refers to Sarasah Gadut (some of the features of the waterfall match up), but we'd need a bit more in the way of reliable sourcing for an article. There might be some, systemic bias being what it is, but I've been unable to find it. --j⚛e deckertalk 16:23, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment-I'm trying to find if there is a list of waterfalls for Indonesia which I would say redirect too. but no luck. Maybe something to redirect to but I don't know what! Wgolf (talk) 20:09, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
