Geostub made by Spokane Ball yt who was blocked for creating similarly poorly-sourced stubs. This one fails WP:GEOLAND which requires populated places to either be legally recognized or have sufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG. Please don't just add a GEONAMES entry as a ref; community consensus has consistently been against using such databases to establish legal recognition or GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 22:24, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I cannot seem to find anything on it. I don't think it is a actual city or town but more like a unofficial areas or community. Perhaps if someone can come along and provide some sources for it then I might change my mind but this article adds nothing to Wikipedia. Super (talk) 05:56, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There may be some sort of transliteration issue here as Dzhambaskala almost certainly refers to the easily verifable town?/fortress of Jambasqala, but I can't verify it as a result. SportingFlyer T·C 00:19, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The name of this place is the Russian for "named after Maxim Gorky", so I would think that it would be more likely that if it was referred to in English it would simply be as "Maxim Gorky". Of course searching for that gets loads of sources for the writer, which overwhelm any that might exist for this town/village. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:40, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Appears to be a genuine settlement. Per Phil Bridger, given the meaning of the name it would be extremely hard to search for sources. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:22, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I don't think we can assume a notability pass here. The original referencing was largely/entirely falsified, and we haven't turned up anything better, we would need to hurdle the WP:V bar before we can assume automatic notability. No prejudice to recreation in the future if something can actually be found, please ping me if someone turns up sources here. Hog Farm _Talk 14:17, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
