Uunsi[edit]

No coords are given for this supposed Somali town, and it doesn't show up in Geonames per se. I did find this relief agency map which shows a "Uunsi Weyn" SW of Doolow, but it's not entirely clear what the feature is and I am reluctant to write an article based solely on a dot on a map. I cannot locate an actual settlement based on the map I linked to, and the name from the map doesn't show up in Geonames. Mangoe (talk) 00:01, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Uunsi", BTW, apparently simply means "incense" of some sort. Mangoe (talk) 00:03, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Uunsi actually means "Funny" in Somali according to google translate, and is also a general term for frankincense. This article is older than that map mangoe mentions. Prince of Thieves (talk) 13:51, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We've had issues with UN agency maps before but I've taken actual mention in text from their reports as sufficient evidence of existence if not location. Mangoe (talk) 14:09, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok so it's possible that it is a settlement of some sort, but it's hard to tell, some other humanitarian sources mention Uunsi Weyn and indicate there is a well (or maybe two?) and that is is a "settlement/village". (these are spreadsheets and doc files and impossible to link, try googling "Uunsi Weyn" with quotes and look on page two). This would seem to marginally support a rename I suppose, I don't rightly know how citable these things are. Prince of Thieves (talk) 14:46, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or rename to uunsi weyn. 92.9.152.17 (talk) 21:39, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
