Zidm

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:V, GNG, GEOLAND. Pin points to barren area of hilly terrain. No reference to the ruined village of Zidm could I find that doesn't derive from WP. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 08:26, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

 * This implies that zidm is actually Arabic for ruin. In which case, this may be a misunderstanding. SpinningSpark 13:33, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
 * There is this page, but it appears to be based on the same dodgy US intelligence agency database as the source in the article. SpinningSpark 13:40, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Absolutely - based on same source, which was itself based on the TOS survey of 1959. A bunch of wee Brits in short trousers with clipboards wandering around the countryside asking passing locals, 'What's this?' 'Oh, this? It's just a ruin.' 'So what do you call it?' *funny look* 'Ruin'... Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:45, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Do you mind adding this info to Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents? People are wondering why John Carter added these stubs... WhisperToMe (talk) 23:56, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
