- Keep per Wikipedia:GEOLAND. The source is existent. I have now repaired the broken link via the Internet Archive. See [1]. Voceditenore ( talk) 09:28, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
- Merge into list - It's notable but unfortunately most Burkina places have zilch info online. I want to merge all of the ones like this into a tabled list with population until there is info available on them.† Encyclopædius 11:04, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. Not much known about this small village, but more may turn up. There is a list of villages in Zabré Department. We could turn the list into a table, and make the entry for this village like
Municipality Coordinates Population Pop. Year Notes ... ... ... ... ... Yokouma Unknown 139[10] 2005 "Yokouma" mean "Solidarity" in the Bissa language.[11] During the 2012 elections the village had 63 registered voters. A shed in the village was used as the voting station.[12] ... ... ... ... ...
- The entry would have an {{ anchor}} named Yokouma, and Yokouma would redirect to Zabré Department#Yokouma. But I think the reader would be a bit surprised to jump to the table entry, and an editor wanting to add some detail might find it harder to deal with a table entry than an article. I see no advantage to readers or editors to make this a redirect. Aymatth2 ( talk) 00:00, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
Yeah the issue though is that editors don't just turn up and expand stubs from rural Burkina Faso. A tabled list would be suitable if there is no information except population but you managed to find some scraps on this making it borderline worthy in its own right.† Encyclopædius 13:08, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
