 * Comment - did you perform WP:BEFORE? There are references to the site here, here, here, and here - I found these in about 5 seconds on Google Books, where a query for Lizq Oman returns over 11k hits. Parsecboy (talk) 20:14, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per Parsecboy's comment and my reasoning at Articles for deletion/Al-Nejd, Sultanate of Oman. There seems to have been a bit of a WP:AGF malfunction here. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 20:58, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per the sources found by Parsecboy. It appears the nom didn't bother with WP:BEFORE.  They should be reminded that WP:GNG only requires the existence of reliable sources, not that they already be placed in the article.  --Oakshade (talk) 00:40, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Blind nomination without appropriate checking. Article is full of academically published sources. And arch site is geographic feature same how we accept hamlets and villages with only one source. This is perfectly acceptable artice. Proper WP:BEFORE will have prevent this misnomination of article with this multiple solid references. –Ammarpad (talk) 12:27, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Plenty of good mentions in books. ~  Amory  (u • t • c) 17:53, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
