• Delete - Editor created article in 2008 with two un-sourced edits, and then never edited on Wikipedia again. Lots of subsequent editors since then, but no one has provided sourcing. — Maile (talk) 10:46, 22 June 2024 (UTC).[reply]

• Keep - Changing to Keep based on the rock carvings (petroglyphs), which I believe make this village historicaly notable. — Maile (talk) 23:19, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - agree wit above. Bduke (talk) 23:48, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Certainly appears to exist and meets WP:GEOLAND. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:39, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep It's been discussed in several scholarly articles (perform an easy search on Google) and clearly meets WP:GEOLAND, though I think most sources won't be in English. SportingFlyer T·C 16:00, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: There should at least be one reference to verify that this place indeed exists and meets WP:GEOLAND.
