[edit] Taourirt

Taourirt (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Possible hoax, no references, or coordinates, may not exist, short 1 sentence article. Simple stated does not meet WP:V NewAtThis (talk) 21:30, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep A hoax? And this is an accusation by an editor who has never had a message posted on his talk page. A quick google search shows numerous settlements under this name in Algeria and indeed Morocco . Does it strike anybody as strange than an editor with less than 40 edits is suddenly interested in afds? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 21:44, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep A simple Google search would provide enough sources to prove its not a hoax, [1] for one. Mr.Z-man 21:44, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
A quick search under Taurirt also reveals countless more populated places often in Morocco too. A search at Maplandia shows there are at least 100 places with the same or a similar name, most of them in Morocco. I suggest to the nominator in future he learns to use google as a search to identify settlements. Other than this if he is rightly concerned about lack of verification, I might recommend he kindly asks the article creator to amend it and improve the article before taking it to afd. Thankyou ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 21:49, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
