May be best to make separate entries for the DC Maz and the mythological Mazikeen. In that case, it'd be nice to have another source or two for the latter.

I don't think the mythological article is long enough to merit that yet, and neither one is so significant that it screams "distinct article!" to me. I certainly don't dispute that more sources and information would be useful, though. -Silence 17:13, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

One reputable source is the external link to "The Fairy Mythology", written by Thomas Keightley. Just because the source is online doesn't make it automatically unreliable. It's online because Keightley's book is from 1880; it's in the public domain. Keightley also happens to be a very trustworthy, reliable source. 71.239.19.109 04:43, 24 May 2007 (UTC) Chris G.

Should we mention that it's quite likely that there is a connection between the Mazikeen folk stories and the Djinn of Arabic legend?
