Action of 1805

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article on a military action that I'm struggling to verify. It may exist under a different name, or perhaps it doesn't exist at all, but I can't tell. Also nominating Action of 4 July 1805 for the same reasons - I confess to not being up-to-snuff on my European history in advance if it turns out there's information I'm missing. badlydrawnjeff talk 20:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Both - No references have been given it has been marked since February and the user who started the article is still active. Also I have a book called, Napoleon's Regiments: Battle History of the Regiments of the French Army, 1792-1815 which lists all French naval losses from 1792-1815, but does not list any losses in February 1805 or on 4 July.-- Bryson { Talk } { Edits } 20:23, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete This article calls HMS Centurion a 'battleship'. The Centurion in the Royal Navy at the time was a 50-gun fourth-rate ship that existed from 1774 to 1825.  By no stretch of the imagination could she be described as a 'battleship'.  This leads me to think the rest of the article is equally unreliable, but as it doesn't have any good sources that's hard to prove either way. The article says the battle took place in 'the east'?  Does that mean the Nile or Japan or Scarborough for instance?  Nick mallory 15:16, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
