Keep. The nomination hints that it is a former settlement. We cover former settlements. --Doncram (talk) 22:16, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There's no intention to hint about former notability or existence. There's no source cited to show Rafa' ever existed and it certainly doesn't now. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 03:02, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It does not "hint" anything. It states out right "Rafa' is a settlement in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates", without any proof whatsoever. Softlavender (talk) 10:51, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Useless uncited one-sentence article/claim of dubious accuracy. Softlavender (talk) 10:51, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete - No reference, no content and cant find the place --Jay (talk) 14:38, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Oh, this might be quite funny. It's just struck me that there is every chance this actually refers to Al Rifa'a,, which is actually where I live. If so, it still deserves deletion as it's a residential block in coastal Northern Sharjah and totally not notable. Except that I live here, clearly... (PS: Rifa'a is on the West Coast of Sharjah, this place was pinned in Khor Fakkan on the East, hence it didn't spring to mind initially) Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:45, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
