This is a particularly frustrating case. Geonames says it's "approved", but it locates, rather imprecisely, into an area of barchan dunes near the coast. Heading south from there, GMaps shows a town it calls "Ashira" (and gives, in Cyrillic, "Dzhamiya Ashira"). Looking for "Ashira" in geonames, however, gives a well called "Ashira Cun" which is nowhere near either of these, and another well named "Haashira" further down the coast. There's unquestionably a town where GMaps labels it, but what is it really called? Well, this map of water sources seems to think that it's called "Ascira", and sure enough, that name is in geonames, unverified, and it's at about the same location as El Gaimeddo (of course there's a missing space in the article name), and the imprecise, unverified location is a bit north of the town labelled on GMaps. So, are they the same place? I'm inclined to create Ascira, and delete this, but maybe they should be merged. Mangoe ( talk) 11:35, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
