If you mean the one returned in the namefinder in the Geonames
section, it isn't in OSM, but is in Geonames.
http://www.geonames.org/3724061/guibert.html
The Haiti 1:50k maps surround that point by Obléon, Grand Place and
Carrefour Beraque and I think Grand Place is the one most likely to
refer to Guibert, though of the three is the only one of those three
not currently added from the 1:50k maps (Haiti-tlm-50)
Perhaps someone else can say whether we can add geonames.org
<http://geonames.org> place
details (CC-BY) to OSM?
geonames.org <http://geonames.org> is not necessarily a good source of
data. Most points come from the US government in the first place:
http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/index.html . I thought it was
previously evaluated as not good enough for OSM.

Thanks Emilie.
I copied your comment to the "Guibert" point in OSM-Emergencies
