Similar to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Battle of Zhengzhou (October 1929) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Battle of Heishiguan although by a different contributor, the only source appears to be a primary source Taiwanese book without page number. I am not able to confirm that the battle occurred. This RS book implies that it didn't. buidhe 18:08, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:V, possibly a skirmish. Bearian (talk) 00:27, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment -- I suspect that the civil wars of the interwar Chinese warlords are of little interest to PRC historians, though possibly to those of Taiwan, which claims to be the Republic of China, so that this is its history. It would probably be better if the author could be persuaded to write a single article on the conflict (war) in question, to which articles on individual battles (or skirmishes) could be redirected.

  • @Peterkingiron: This battle (and the others) is supposed to be part of the Central Plains War, but there is no mention of it (or any of the others) there. We would need to have verifiable source that this battle actually occurred to add it to the main article and keep this as a redirect. buidhe 20:34, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
