Delete per nomination. Might become notable if a real find and archeological/police findings are exceptional. But, bones in a cave is hardly WP-worthy.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 12:19, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep with Chiswick Chap's expansion of the article. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 13:35, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It is a little better than that: the cave is the first example of rock art in Sumatra, and the source of the largest number of skeletons found on any site in Indonesia, so those are two claims to notability, and the article is now referenced. I would be thinking about a merge to Archaeology in Sumatra if such an article existed; meanwhile, this stub/start is not much worse than some other articles on Sumatran archaeology. If we decide not to keep it at the moment, I'd be willing to begin Archaeology in Sumatra in my user space to gather up what we have on this and other archaeological sites in Sumatra into something referenced and readable. Ping me if needed. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:23, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying. This changes my take.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 16:47, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to the cave's name, since "Cave in Sumatra" is just slightly vague. Ansh666 20:08, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Rename definitely. Seems like an important discovery, but the title of the page is horrible[User:Gmkeros|Gmkeros]] (talk) 11:00, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
