[edit] Hafr Al-Batin

• Clean up but an article about a city of 650,000 is clearly notable and verifiable. Bobby1011 07:35, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, cleanup and move this seems to be the city of "Hafr Al-Batin" (we'd need some speaker of Arabic now), a city of 190,000 inhabitants: [1]. King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals also links to Hafr Al-Batin. Another source claims 250,000 inhabitants: [2]. In any case, the town is notable enough and should have an article.

• Keep and expand as real place with real community of interest. Well done to George Stepanek for the clean-up. Capitalistroadster 10:03, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• As it stands now, it is a blindingly obvious keep --Xorkl000 11:04, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Cities are by definition notable. Batmanand | Talk 11:05, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Definitely notable, and verification can easily be done with a quick Google search. — Rebelguys2 ^talk 11:37, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. If random smaller towns and boroughs in the US and UK have their own articles, why can't this place?. — Indi ^{[ talk ]} 12:29, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
