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 place
details (CC-BY) to OSM?
