Mbombwe Ambush

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Is written like an essay and should be deleted per WP:NOTESSAY. -KAP03(^{Talk • Contributions • Email}) 17:34, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also the topic is not notable as a WP:BEFORE search did not find any reliable sources to show notability. The one reference provided just links back to the nominated page which does not indicate notability per WP:CIRCULAR. -KAP03(^{Talk • Contributions • Email}) 17:39, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Chilembwe uprising; source for the event is here. This page is just one sentence taken from the section, Chilembwe uprising#Later actions. I don't see enough coverage to provide for a WP:NOR encyclopedia article about the event. Smmurphy^(Talk) 18:54, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect: per Smmurphy, I don't think the coverage warrants an individual article, but it seems noteworthy in the parent article. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 06:59, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as content fork, together with the other comparable sub-entries in Template:Campaignbox Chilembwe uprising. Clearly the uprising itself (as well as some of its participants) is notable - the individual engagements are not, however. They clearly fail WP:GNG (specifically the "trivial mention" criteria in reliable sources). —Brigade Piron (talk) 09:12, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Chilembwe uprising, as other mention. This appears to have been a very small battle, if it could even be called a battle. I am not surprised that sources on it are limited. Dysklyver 12:13, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Chilembwe uprising; not sure if there is anything to merge. I am far from sure what this is about, but this paragraph is meaningless without something more to contextualise it. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:03, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
