- (Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This place does exist, see
here (click on the marker item on the right centre) but I can't find coverage of this outside WP's mirrors. This article has existed since September 2004 and yet doesn't exist on any other projects (eg Spanish Wikipedia) and is still marked as "coord missing" (since
October 2008). It has been marked as unsourced since
2009
[1] and was prodded in March 2014 for lack of existance by
Kaldari and again yesterday for not being able to find sources. Either it should be deleted or if its location can be sourced in say
Cayo District it can be merged there. Note that there is
another in Spain.

Crouch, Swale: I don't see anything at that link about Albaina. I see
Armenia, Belize, but no Albaina. Am I missing it?

Kaldari yes I see that the place near Choro Creek is Armenia, not Albaina. I would usually not nominate an article for deletion if its shown on a map but given that I couldn't find anything for Albaina, I did so, I just didn't notice the difference between "Albaina" and "Armenia" due to the fact that
Armenia is also in the
Cayo District, on Hummingbird Highway, south of Belmopan. I therefore am confident that the place doesn't exist (or is very local and NN). I suspect that the author,
Belizian probably like me thought that this was Armenia and that this wasn't a (deliberate) hoax but if it was it would be the oldest, see
Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia. Possibly we could redirect to
Armenia, Belize but I don't think that's a likely misspelling and as noted there is a place in Spain with this name.

- I would also note that Roaring Creek, Belize which was created 2 minutes before Albaina by the same user definitely exists (per maps) although its still unsourcd and has no interwiki. There is an article at es:Albaina on the Spanish one though. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 19:17, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. I checked Google Maps and did some research. All I found was a trivial mention in
[2] (not counting
WP:CIRCULAR sources), and I also saw that there is an Armenia but no Albaina on the map. This alone definitely is not enough for the topic to satisfy
WP:GNG, as there is hardly any coverage in only one source and no coordinates are given; hence, delete.

- Delete Despite my best efforts to find this village, my searches all came up empty. There is a village of Albaina in Castile and León but not in Belize. Even on the ArcGIS map of Belizean settlements there's no place called Albaina, but like others have said there is an "Armenia" off Hummingbird Highway which may have been the intended subject.
