The article was originally created based on a listing and coordinates from National Geographic Google Books. Some more searching has revealed that it is better referred to as "Quebrada Emero", which has a (presumably robot-generated) article on 2 wikipedias (e.g. sv:Quebrada Emero). The coordinates from there, sourced from Geonames, align with US DoD maps of the area containing the Quebrada Emero, found at 1 and 2. I would probably suggest coord closer to [-13.373311, -67.434904] and will update this article accordingly. Granted, this isn't much actual information about the river, but based on this it seems that it exists. Pinging @Premeditated Chaos:; lemme know what you think. Not sure that Geonames is a reliable source or what kind of other sourcing is needed for geographical places for it to be considered reliable. Also regarding a rename to the article, if you think that would be appropriate. Best, SpencerT•C20:27, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, here's where I'm at on this. Per GNIS Geonames (a US government database of foreign place-names that's reasonably reliable), it's an "intermittent stream", which pretty much means it's a little ravine that turns into a stream in the rainy season. The alternate name you provided, "Quebrada Emero", backs that up - Quebrada means "ravine". The GBooks snippet of this book describes it as a tributary of the Beni River:
Spanish
English
RIO EMERO Sus aguas provienen de las zonas bajas, bajíos y curi- chones, que constituyen una microcuenca, a partir de la última formación rocosa del sector de Ixiamas. Es un tributario del río Beni. RIO NEGRO Este otro RIO NEGRO nace
RIO EMERO Its waters come from the low areas, shallows and curigons, which constitute a micro-basin, from the last rock formation in the Ixiamas sector. It is a tributary of the Beni river. RIO NEGRO This other RIO NEGRO was born ...
Other than that, the most content I've seen about this feature under Quebrada Emero, Rio Emero, and/or Emero River, are some trivial mentions: [1], [2], and [3]. Per WP:GEOLAND, how would you feel about a merge & redirect to Beni River, since it appears to be a fairly minor tributary to that? ♠PMC♠ (talk)05:31, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good to me. That CIA PDF is quite interesting, but that's all content that could fit into the Rio Beni article. Thanks for following up about this, SpencerT•C14:14, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
