Possibly fails WP:NGEO. No third-party source for said mountain range beyond stats and coordinates.
"Named natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist. This includes mountains, lakes, streams, islands, etc. The number of known sources should be considered to ensure there is enough verifiable content for an encyclopedic article. If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the feature can instead be included in a more general article on local geography. For example, a river island with no information available except name and location should probably be described in an article on the river."

- Will require an Arabic source search as the there's a linked Arabic wikipedia page, but it's not clear if it's on this mountain or something else. SportingFlyer T· C 22:46, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per Mccapra's sourcing, passes WP:GEOFEAT. SportingFlyer T· C 21:20, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. The source in the ar.wiki article is the same dead link to a Mecca Governorate site. I’ve found
this which is a GPS directory for Saudi Arabia including coordinates for it,
this which is a news item about snow falling there, very unusually, and
this which about the death of a walker on the mountain while out hunting.

- Mccapra, ehhh... it looks like passing mentions and I myself don't think those sources passes the reliability criteria. -- Tyw7 ( 🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then ( ping me) 21:00, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
- Comment They are indeed passing mentions but that is sufficient for GEOLAND. We have articles on many mountains which are not the subject of in-depth discussion because there may not be a lot to say about them, but the notability threshold is clearly met in this case. We don’t just have coordinates, we have context. Mccapra ( talk) 10:40, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
