Talk:Atlas the Barbary lion versus the Bengal tiger of Simla

I did not copy the information from 'Insidehoops.com', rather, someone in 'Insidehoops.com' apparently copied the information from a previous work of mine
Previously, I had been working on a section of the Wikipedia article "Tiger versus lion," called "Atlas the Barbary lion verses the Bengal tiger of Simla," and it was so bulky that I decided to create this article, which came after the page in 'Insidehoops.com' (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=12091811&postcount=20), created on the 28th of January, after the Section "Atlas the Barbary lion verses the Bengal tiger of Simla," which I had been working on, in the article "Tiger versus lion," on or before the 25th of January. In other words, it appears that the user in 'Insidehoops.com' copied my work. I did not copy the information from 'Insidehoops.com', rather, I took the information from a previous work of mine. &mdash; Leo1pard (talk) 13:46, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because I did not copy the information in "Atlas the Barbary lion versus the Bengal tiger of Simla," from 'Insidehoop.com', rather, someone in 'Insidehoop.com' apparently copied the information from my previous work in the Article "Tiger versus lion," so 'Insidehoop.com' has my work. When I edited the Article "Tiger versus lion," I added details to the fight between Atlas the Barbary lion and the Bengal tiger of Simla, on or before the 25th of January, please check the History of the Edits in that Article. Little did I know that on the 28th of January, a user of the website 'Insidehoop.com' copied my work. &mdash; Leo1pard (talk) 16:46, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Modern views
If this article is to stay here, could its principal author please research whether anything exists written in modern times about this disgusting (my PoV) atrocity? Without (yet) researching it myself I am hoping that something exists in an RS or two about the pointlessness and cruelty of this act? Or even, let's be NPoV here, maybe some zoologist has written it up as a great research endeavour ... ? Whatever. But someone with a current voice on it would, I feel, be good.

 * What shall I say? There are sources for it happening back in 1899 or after that, like there are sources for other battles, some of which are ancient or medieval records, or records from the 19th Century. It's part of a recurring, historical, albeit harsh, theme, "Lion versus tiger," indeed, there's even a Wikipedian article on it, that is "Tiger versus lion" (which I worked on, and where I put the information that is now in this new article, in the first place).

Redirection
I have decided to redirect this to a more notable article where i believe this would fit better, that is Lion-baiting. Leo1pard (talk) 18:15, 14 November 2019 (UTC)


 * @Leo1pard @SuperSkaterDude45 @SilverTiger12: The Lion-baiting is not a suitable redirection target, because 'lion baiting' mainly refers to instigating dogs to attack lion, which is similar to bullfighting. This article is about a battle between tiger and lion, and obviously should not be redirected to 'lion baiting'.
 * Many people who like lions can't accept the fact that tigers are more powerful than lions, so they don't want this article to appear on Wikipedia. However, Wikipedia is an objective and neutral encyclopedia. You can't "hide" this article just because it contains information detrimental to the lion, making it difficult for readers to see it. I hope lion lovers can respect the facts and allow this article to remain as an independent article. 蕭漫 (talk) 17:14, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
