Article Sources are:

1. Online Etymology Dictionary: no support for existence.
2. Abarim Publications: no support for existence.
3. Oxford Archeological Guides: The Holy Land (sic): Not verifiable, but from the index, pages 198-9 are for Ashqelon, which is nowhere near the Kidron Valley.
4. Ancient Burial Ground with 100 Tombs Found Near Biblical Bethlehem: No support for existence (of "Rivka").
5. Eastern Sketches – notes of scenery, schools and tent life in Syria and Palestine: page 102 and surrounds have nothing to do with "Rivka".
6. The Land and the Book: "Rivka" not found.
7. Hirschfeld, Yizhar. Qumran in Context: Reassessing the Archaeological Evidence: Not verified.

At minimum, available sources (searches performed) do not meet GNG/GEOLAND. I suspect it's a hoax, given that Rivka Kidron is/was an advisor to Benjamin Netanyahu. If so, then its creator has gone to some trouble. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 15:32, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment(side issue), is this a concern, that article creator name, Learnthatcom, is the same as this website - learnthat.com? Coolabahapple (talk) 05:28, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment, interesting that the wadi known as Nahal Kidron (mentioned in lead of Kidron Valley) that runs over 30km from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea, also runs around 3km south of Kedar, where the article says this community is situated, and yet it is not mentioned.

• Delete, the article is pure nonsense. No single ref refers to this place, no equivalent Hebrew article, or for that matter, a single Hebrew reference. Poliocretes (talk) 08:43, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: is this a potential hoax? Created by a SPA Special:Contributions/Learnthatcom with few other contributions. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:48, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: I didn't find any support for existence of this place in Hebrew. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 13:27, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
