The result was delete. The article claims that there is a city named Sufayri in the Emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. A few participants in this discussion found sources confirming settlements named Sufayri in Syria and Saudi Arabia, but no one seems to have provided compelling evidence supporting the existence of a legally recognized, populated place in UAE with this name. As the burden to demonstrate verifiability is on editors arguing to keep or restore content, I'm afraid deletion is the outcome that has consensus here. Mz7 ( talk) 23:40, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

There's no such place as Sufayri in the emirate of Dubai, certainly not in the location shown and certainly not a city. An unsourced entry, it needs to go... Alexandermcnabb ( talk) 06:54, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
Found it. It's a tiny sub-community of about six houses within the Eastern reaches of the small mountain town of Hatta. We haven't broken out Dubai's suburbs, let alone Hatta's. Still suggest delete on WP:FAILN. Alexandermcnabb ( talk) 09:45, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
https://www.dsc.gov.ae/Publication/Population%20Bulletin%20Emirate%20of%20Dubai%202015.pdf BTW, the source as far as I can tell for all these spurious entries is a 1987 American Gazetteer!!! Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk) 09:25, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
