Tiq Maya

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Lacks sufficient coverage in RS sources or other indicia of notability. Has only one ref, and that is to an apparent non-RS.Epeefleche (talk) 15:02, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Uncertain. If there was any sort of coverage of the events, a band touring in both the Netherlands and France would seem to meet WP:BAND#2.  This source mentions the band, although largely in context with successor group Atlal.  I am unable to judge its reliability.  1970s European newspapers aren't very comprehensively represented online at this time.  An editor with some familiarity with Dutch or French media from that period may be better able to source this than I. Serpent&#39;s Choice (talk) 17:20, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for searching. I also searched to no avail to find RS support for the article claims that the band Tiq Maya was "probably the most successful Moroccan music group in Europe", etc.  Usually, that sort of fame is reflected in RSs in my experience.  Hopefully, as you suggest, others can find more.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:18, 1 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Also unable to find any reliable sources to establish or back up the statements and claims made in the article that give the article subject its notability. As mentioned above, its hard to tell if the one source from MokumTV is reliable (it appears to be a local public broadcaster of some sort). Regardless, if the article subject were truly notable and worthy of inclusion there would be "significant coverage" and right now I just can't find this type of coverage.
