It appears that these Somali stubs were created without paying attention to the type of feature the name was assigned to. In this case geonames says that it's actually "Duur Gal", and that it's a wadi, not a town. I have a hard time going with wadis being notable without some actual text: the creek down the hill from my parent's house has a name, but there's no article on it in WP, and I don't think that there should be.

  • Delete appears to be a non-notable hydrological feature according to databases. SportingFlyer (talk) 04:30, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • There would need to be some relance to the hydrological feature to make it notable really, and there isn't any. Prince of Thieves (talk) 21:14, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and rename to Hero Dhagahley with a wikidata link to the Somali-language article Xero Dhagaxley. 92.10.229.24 (talk) 20:36, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Easier just to delete this article about a water feature and let 92.10.229.24 create an article about the completely diffrent subject of Hero Dhagahley via the normal process. Prince of Thieves (talk) 00:01, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
