This is one of five articles created recently -Labyrinth City, Ixiamas Fortress, Ruins of Miraflores, Madeira Fortress, Trinchera Fortress and Petroglyphs of Quiaca- all sourced to or based on Yuri Leveratto and his personal website at [1]. I can't find reliable sources to show that it meets WP:GNG. I'm taking them to AfD individually as someone might possibly come up with sources even though I've failed.

- Delete, due to being at the twilight zone where notability problems and WP:FRINGE overlap. Even if we could find another (independent) source with substantial coverage, I doubt it would represent a mainstream view of this kind of topic so we may never be able to have neutral content on this topic. bobrayner (talk) 23:18, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: the archaelogical site is very important. It is true that when I created the article, for lack of time, I added only the source of the Italian antropologist that described the ancient city, anyway other sources can be add, (especially from Brazilian magazine and even archaeological related magazine). The site is known and was studied different times and is very important in order to understand the contacts between Andean and Amazonian pre-history.Franciscos58 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Franciscos58 (talk • contribs) 15:58, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Leveratto is not an anthropologist but a fringe author.[2] Among other places, he publishes in Nexus magaxine, and their website sayd NEXUS is a bi-monthly alternative news magazine covering health breakthroughs, future science and technology, suppressed news, free energy, religious revisionism, conspiracy, the environment, history and ancient mysteries, the mind, UFOs, paranormal and the unexplained." He has no credentials in archaeology or anthropology and his work experience is as a guide and working for cruise lines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dougweller (talk • contribs) 16:06, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- CommentI don't see this as a peer reviewed journal, and I do see that the article is by our ex-tourist guide with no archaeological qualifications Yuri Leveratto, what a surprise! Why isn't there a real academic report on this? Dougweller (talk) 17:42, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
