It appears that a Berber tribe "Beni Saqqar" does not exist in the area described, the name seems to be only a hypothetical mention in one scientific book and no sources are given about such a tribe having ever existed, neither having been described by histeorians. The only quotable source is "Graindorge, Catherine, "Sokar". In Redford, Donald B., (ed) The Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt, vol. III, pp. 305–307". The source is fine, but what does it say? Apparently, the sentence is "... Saqqara, which probably comes from the name of a Berber tribe, the Beni Saqqar. ...". This alone is not good enough for having an entry about this supposed tribe which may have or may not have existed. The author of the page has not contributed any kind of other sourced material, although a debate has ensued, see talkpage there. Ilyacadiz (talk) 21:09, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
