The Google Maps pin is near a facility of some sort but I don't see a town. I cannot find any results calling this a town or otherwise notable place. The first citation is about opera of Turkmenistan?! User:Spokane Ball yt, why was that a useful link? Reywas92^Talk 13:49, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is absolutely no such town in Turkmenistan. Needs to be deleted.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:35, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is just a locale, not a town. The user who created this has created many more similar articles for non-existent towns and using irrelevant references. They do have a current discussion at ANI regarding this. Someone proposed deleting all of their articles, however there is at least one that I know of (Zumwalt, Washington) that is a legitimate community. Waddles 🗩 🖉 15:50, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - NJ 40-3 (AMS) documents Modar to be a ruined town. I will try to ascertain its current state; had probably heard of its name in a list of untapped petroleum/energy deposits in Turkmenistan. TrangaBellam (talk) 18:50, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
