Not sure what's going on here, but I can't find any reliable sources which confirm the existence of a "Witkoppen Reserve". BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:03, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Delete I could not locate any either. Apparently whoever posted this article got confused by the fact there is a reserve near Witkoppen, but not in it.TH1980 (talk) 01:08, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

- Delete, no, there simply isn't one anywhere round there or with that name. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:09, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Delete, reluctantly, it does seem to exist and I can find mentions of it, but nothing substantial or independent, e.g. http://www.siteform.co.za/Projects/Witkoppen-Reserve-Verkykerskop/, other than that its promotional material or trip adviser reviews of accommodation. Needs to feature in travel press, wildlife site guides etc. Quetzal1964 (talk) 17:33, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Quetzal1964, Although the lodge says it is in the Witkoppen Reserve, I found some sources such as [1] that confirm the "Witkoppen Tor", a large granite formation (and pictured in at the Lodge's website) is in a "reserve", but called "Fourways Reserve" or "Fourways Gardens". But I'm not yet sure there are enough sources to support an article at "Fourways Reserve". MB 21:51, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

- Shawn in Montreal that refers to a different place with the same toponym, I think it means "White Hill" in Afrikaans. The one in this article is in Orange Free State whereas the one you found reference to is in Gauteng. Quetzal1964 (talk) 18:21, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
