Proposed deletion of Operation Red Mist


The article Operation Red Mist has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No sources verifying this battle.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ... disco spinster   talk  22:15, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Operation Red Mist
You wrote on the talk page of the article: "I do believe this is true because my uncle was Frank Hemmie and he did die in Vietnam. I was told this is what happened by my grandfather but it is possible it is not true." You may not have had time to see the reply, which was: "Oral history is an important subject, but it is a primary source. Wikipedia relies upon secondary sources (like news articles or a book). Could you please provide one of those that talks about this operation?  I've not been able to find one bit of evidence that this event actually occurred.  Sailsbystars (talk) 22:10, 17 April 2012 (UTC)" To support that, Wikipedia has an important policy Verifiability which says that "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source." So, unless there are records of this operation like newspaper articles or official reports, I'm afraid Wikipedia can't have an article about it.

There is good advice about writing for Wikipedia in WP:Your first article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 14:10, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
