This article has been nominated for deletion before, and the result was merging it into Maakhir. However despite this the article is still up. Not only does the article violate as it is not notable enough, but it also only contains one reference and the article has been practically unsourced since 2007.

Given the lack of content in this article, lack of sources and the lack of notability I highly suggest this article is deleted. Dabaqabad (talk) 15:53, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • This was "rescued" from AFD the first time around by sourcing it to a 1987 edition of the U.S. BGN Gazetteer of Somalia. Well we all know how badly people use that as a source, nowadays. Indeed, reading the gazetteer cited as a source reveals that the BGN specifically listed this as "MTS" and "VAL", not "PPL". Yes, Boharo was mountains and a valley. In 1987. According to the U.S. BGN.

    The other source did not even come from this article, which is why it has nothing about Boharo in it. It's from the Haylaan article and actually says that that is the province, which the source, from 2013, supports. It's not clear why Special:Diff/891826783 was even done. Clearly the pre-merge Haylaan article was better sourced than this one.

    This is just yet another confused BGN mess. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 16:19, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Haylaan as a duplicate. The Government of Puntland site is no longer live, but the 2017 archive is available, [1]. it lists Haylan as one of the provinces. The search in english on Haylan (or Haylaan) being renamed to Bogaro yields exactly zero results.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:25, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete The supplied source doesn't mention this name at all, and I'm not seeing a reason why this should be pointed at any other article. Mangoe (talk) 05:22, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete As per Mangoe, can't see coverage in sources. Frigidpolarbear (talk) 16:17, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
