Ridiculously short article that fails WP:GNG and WP:NPLACE. No hits of reliable sources on google books or search. No article in Romanian is a bad sign. Template:Dacian cities lists dozens of these ultra stubs, but I won't do anything with them until we see just one. -1ctinus📝 🗨 16:56, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

ro:Cetățile Ponorului is the Romanian-language article (or, at least, the only plausibly-notable topic of a similar name).

- That may be a step towards salvaging the article, but the Romanian article also cites no sources, andseems to be about a cave rather than a fortress :(

- Yes, the "cave"/"ruined fortress" difference is somewhat concerning; but for a micro-stub like this it is easily dismissed as confusion by the enwiki article creator. As far as rowiki sourcing, there are some websites in the article (like
[1]); it might not be enough to demonstrate notability but is enough to verify that something exists.

- Comment: For all it's worth, that's not a cave, but rather, a ponor. Whence the name. Turgidson ( talk) 12:05, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

- delete without prejudice against recreation of a sourced version. It' shouldn't be AfD's job to research and write these articles; it should be the author's job. We are not losing anything by deleting these completely unverifiable articles, and we waste too much time on these. Mangoe ( talk) 21:57, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per above. Walsh90210 ( talk) 14:10, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
