2019 Tell Rifaat clashes

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Very minor/insignificant clash rather than a battle, and a part of Operation Olive Branch. Recommend that it be merged and later deleted. KasimMejia (talk) 16:20, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per Article size, Operation Olive Branch is already very large and already over 100 kb, and this article has enough sources to establish notability.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: The deletion reason (and discussion) seems to be whether it's a legitimate content fork
 * Keep - "Very minor" according to who? Besides, Operation Olive Branch sorely needs more sub-articles like this one. Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 01:56, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Nosebagbear (talk) 23:19, 4 November 2019 (UTC) *Delete/Merge This was a small clash as part of the larger Operation Olive Branch that resulted in 3 villages changing hands back and forth in one day. Having a separate article for insignificant clashes like these in the Syrian Civil War does not improve readability WP:CONTENTFORK. KasimMejia (talk) 07:56, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Self Comment Another thing to note, the article was created immediately when the clash began and 3 villages were captured. The creator fell into WP:TOOSOON thinking the offensive would result in a large battle WP:CBALL. KasimMejia (talk) 09:55, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep notable and because of Article size, Operation Olive Branch is already unwieldy it is a poor idea to merge. Wm335td (talk) 22:43, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep There are RS to treat this as a separate article. The connection between the articles should be made clearer here, however.  Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 01:06, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
