No indication this is a currently extant suburb of Ras Al Khaimah

[edit]

Two citations have been added to the article, neither of which confirm that this is a currently extant "suburb of Ras Al Khaimah". This 1985 citation [1] says that Al Mataf was an area of settlement at the port of Julfar (now Ras Al Khaimah) from the mid 14th C to the mid 17th C. This 2001 citation [2] says it was a walled-in area of the hut settlement Julfar (now Ras Al Khaimah) prior to the 17th C. Both of them speak of archaeology but not of current existence.

I have previously asked the above user at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Al Mataf to simply check the corrected coordinates in the article for "current existence". Apparently the user does not care. Sam Sailor 22:34, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
