- Keep Anglicanized as Ahfara on UAE road signs per Google Street View and on OSM, this settlement clearly exists per primary sources/satisfies WP:GEOLAND. Recommend a move. SportingFlyer talk 07:10, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

- Keep and move per SportingFlyer. Satisfies GEOLAND. James500 ( talk) 14:09, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
- Comment It remains unsourced and not notable as a settlement in its own right. It wouldn't pass review as a new article, for sure. Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk) 14:21, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
- A simple Google search for Ahfara doesn't bring up much, but does bring up stories like: [1] [2] and is mentioned as a village here [3] Article can be easily sourced. SportingFlyer talk 21:27, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

- Keep and move. In addition to SportingFlyer's arguments and evidences (which I checked and found them persuasive), I see the utility of miniature stub articles like this one for teaching, travel, and research of all types. Differently from self-promotion and ideologically slanted POV articles, entries about places, regions and settlements should have a place in an encyclopedia like WP. This one in particular, does have reliable sources to justify its existence. They just need to be included, properly. Den... ( talk) 21:40, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
