Yet another Geonames-hallucinated "town" that isn't where the coordinates say it is. "Yaaq" is a common component of Somali placenames, apparently, and there are two other supposed towns of the same name according to Geonames, so I couldn't find anything that this might match.

- So this is another oddity, definitely nothing there and plenty of other places with Yaaq in their title, so really no idea. Doesn't seem verifiable. Prince of Thieves (talk) 14:03, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete As above, doesn't seem verifiable, so delete until the article can be created with proper RS. Deathlibrarian (talk) 22:54, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Delete per discussion above noting problem of verifiability. FloridaArmy (talk) 23:24, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. I also couldn't find relevant sources, and I think that the nominator is right that "Yaaq" is a common component in Somali placenames. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 18:38, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
