[edit] Abune Yosef

The population estimates released by the Central Statistical Agency of Ethiopia has no listing for any settlement with this name in the country. However, there is mountain by that name, one of the 10 or 20 tallest in Ethiopia, located in the northern Amhara Region. Lastly, according to my map Mt. Abuna Yosef is 390 km north of Addis Ababa, not 320 km. Once all of the mistakes are removed from this article, there's nothing left to salvage. This should probably be considered a speedy delete, except I can't figure out a suitable category to justify this act. llywrch 03:24, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• comment Um, you could fix the mistakes instead of removing them. Then you would have something to salvage. Just a thought. —— Eagle (ask me for help) 03:34, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Like I said above, if I take out all of the mistakes, there won't be anything left; & is it simpler to move an empty article -- or delete it & write an entirely new one? (I'm not trying to be snide here; I would apply be bold here & just delete the article & write an entirely new one were it not that "being bold" has acquired a bad reputation recently.) -- llywrch 23:04, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and correct. Seems simplest to just turn this into an article about the mountain. Dlyons493 Talk 12:22, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable. Even if it is corrected from town to mountain, it doesn't make it. The 10th-20th tallest mountain in a country that isn't known for mountains just isn't notable. Ted^Talk/_{Contributions} 13:47, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this article and let llywrch write the real one about the mountain. But that article should be kept. We have articles on dozens of mountains and hills in England, and Ethiopia is known for its mountains and highlands. (Modified comment) up+land 06:41, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or just overwrite with good data. Ethiopia is known for highlands; it is part of why it was never conquered by the Moslem expansion (I don't know the proper name) and never colonized by European powers during the Scramble for Africa. GRBerry 02:21, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
