Ulubey canyon[edit]

No sources for verifiability despite claims of being "the world’s second longest canyon". Orphaned article with no external or inbound links whatsoever. Google yields little. Flewis^(talk) 11:42, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per my nom --Flewis^(talk) 11:43, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand. The Ulubey Canyon is mentioned in all these: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], which seem to back up the claim to being the world's second-largest canyon. I would guess that there are some good sources in Turkish, so I am inclined to keep this.--Michig (talk) 12:06, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See also Google scholar results - the canyon appears to have considerable historical significance.--Michig (talk) 12:11, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The second site in Michig's list mentions the canyon in passing and doesn't appear to be authorative on the subject. They could well be republishing hearsay. - Mgm|^(talk) 15:49, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep based on Michig's numerous sources. Edward321 (talk) 15:15, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Sources back up the claim, which makes this a valid geographical location with potential for expansion. - Mgm|^(talk) 15:51, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep as a well-verified major geographical feature - exactly the sort of thing encyclopedias are for. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:47, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
