Does it exist? There are some online databases that indicate a Sabaiera in the Western Sahara [1][2] but satellite views show no signs of settlement.--Oakshade (talk) 02:11, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure as my own searches found nothing better than this and although localities are usually instantly notable, I'm not finding much here. Pinging author Grutness. SwisterTwister talk 05:58, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I was using the UN as a source, which is usually sufficient. I can't find it in the "AA World Atlas" (which is a pretty good source for less well-known countries), though that does show an ephemeral river, the Oued Zbayra, running in that area. The maps showing Sabaíera look like they're at about the same place, so it's likely to be the same place. Grutness...wha? 07:53, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails wp:v, no substantial evidence that a settlement exists in that place. Cia world book and aa world atlas comes up as empty, and sites like wikimapia are unreliable. no evidence it exists = no article. Pokerkiller (talk) 18:26, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and delete Sebaiera too. I can find no mention in the population statistics [3]. The names do seem to crop associated with 'Uad ..' which might suggest it is a wadi or something else associated with water rather than a populated place.
