Unsourced, unverified. There is an Al Hayl in Fujeirah, but this pin points to a sparsely populated area on the edge of RAK city. Not notable. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 11:09, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

- Update Al Hayl appears to be a notable place in Fujairah as it's in government sources but no article for it exists - should I just go ahead and "move the point"? SportingFlyer talk 06:43, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
- Update Agree. There's a nice fort there, BTW, if we're talking 'that' Hayl. BTW, this Hayl is in a different emirate to that claimed in the article AND on the other side of the country. With hindsight, I'm slapping my head but it's a bit like Paris, France being written up as Paris, Texas... Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 07:34, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
- Keep As the nominator, can I even do this? Added cites to the 'real' Al Hayl and changed the relevant infoboxes. If someone wants to move the pin (ahem SportingFlyer), then we have a cited, accurate wee stub. Yay for us. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 08:28, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
- Keep, cite book added and coords corrected. Meets GEOLAND. It is not located the same place as the fort, Alex. Courtesy ping (Alexandermcnabb—Lugnuts—Softlavender—SportingFlyer). Sam Sailor 19:09, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- Sam It's up the wadi a wee bit... Must try and get over there in the next few weeks and take a snap! :) Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 09:21, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
