Two references are given in the article. The first is to the INE database, however searching on the database for Colldarnat turns up no results. Even if INE has a listing for this location that is just not appearing, I suspect this is just as a population unit ("Unidad Poblacional"), which is analogous to a census tract, which is excluded from WP:GEOLAND#1. The second is the 2ua.org, which appears to just be a Google Maps skin, maps are not sufficient to show notability under WP:NGEO. Zooming in on the location shown in the map shows only some abandoned ruins of an unknown nature. A photo is used in the article, but nothing in the photo identifies it. Searching online I see a Catalan source describing it as a "llogaret abandonat" (abandoned village), but this is not significant coverage. This appears to be a ruined village, not a populated community, still less a legally recognised one. There is no article to be written about this place.

This case is very like the Iranian census case we had earlier this year which resulted from an editor going systematically through the Iranian census and creating an article for every location named in it regardless of notability. Not every location on the globe is notable, Wikipedia is not a gazetteer. FOARP (talk) 16:42, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to La Vansa i Fórnols, then. I also couldn't find enough on a quick internet search to support an independent article at present but it is described as an abandoned village that once had a small church/chapel, so it looks as though it was once a small settlement rather than just a couple of random cottages, and GEOLAND makes clear that notability isn't temporary. In any case the name (sometimes spelt Coll d'Arnat) occurs as a mountain pass / landmark in cycling and travelling contexts, so it's a plausible search term. WP:ATD.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
