The result was soft delete. Normally, I'd relist this due to the lack of discussion, but WP:V is sacred. If somebody comes up with legitimate sources to establish WP:V, WP:REFUND applies. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:12, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced article about a geographic location whose existence I'm unable to properly verify. The coordinates template doesn't land on any named community, but just in the wilderness outside Ywangan, and a Google search fails to find a single source outside of Wikipedia mirrors and other sources that likely got their information from us rather than vice versa -- Google, in fact, actually asks me if I meant Ngwesaung (which unfortunately isn't close enough to the location mapped here that I can just immediately presume this to be a typo for that, though it may still be.) So I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody who's much more knowledgeable about Myanmar than I am can properly verify that this place actually exists, but at the moment it looks more like either a hoax or an error than a real place. WP:GEOLAND does not confer an automatic notability freebie on every place that's merely claimed to exist, but requires at an absolute minimum some actual verification in a reliable source that the place really does exist — however, I can't find any reliable sources to verify it.
