Another Somali "locality", with no trace except copies of us and Geonames. Mangoe (talk) 18:41, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The seeming remoteness of a locality could have many other explanations rather than having "no trace". For example, in these areas Somalis are known for being nomadic, hence no fixed population figures are going to exist. Also, periods of drought occur which could also cause population displacement. Furthermore, dispersion is also very likely because of militia groups which do operate in these areas. Another reason why it is difficult to find sources for this locality is because of the lack of a standardised Somali. This is not the fault of the local community. It is the fault of the weakness of the Somali government. Most of these places are transliterated in a myriad of ways, hence will not be useful when doing a google search. 92.9.152.17 (talk) 21:22, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It would help if there was a single source to even suggest this empty bit of desert was anything relevant. But there is nothing, so I can't see how it will pass the notability requirements. Prince of Thieves (talk) 22:36, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Why not redirect it to the Somali district Mudug, or better to the relevant component subdistrict? --Doncram (talk) 23:00, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete "Amar Deen" came up in a Geonames OpenStreetMap search; it had been deleted, and nothing existed where it had been placed. Delete without prejudice, though. SportingFlyer (talk) 06:56, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
