The result was no consensus. I think 3 relists is enough to try and find a consensus which has not happened.

Comment. The GEOnet Names Server is usually helpful, but is currently down. Googling for the title gets several pages that appear to be derived from GEOnet data. I don't see a sign of a human settlement at that local using Google Maps, but perhaps I shouldn't expect to, since the vegetation is so thick. For a richer country, I would try to find its census results and official gazetteer online, but the Democratic Republic of the Congo may not have the resources to do that. I think that something named Agbau at that location was on a map that GEOnet added to its database but I can't be sure. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 16:21, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It is a real place, appearing at least once in the Journal officiel de la République du Zaïre in 1975 (via Google Books) albeit not a particularly notable one. —Brigade Piron (talk) 08:02, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. GEOnet Names Server is back up, and confirms that this is a populated place. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 19:00, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
