Assault on Gdańsk

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This stub with no interwikis is effectively unreferenced for 10+ years, it only has a general source a bibliography (seems to be a 1906 Scandivanvian encyclopedia, with the entry not on this battle but a wider conflict, based on dates I see in the source). I failed to locate sources that mention this incident in a way that meets WP:SIGCOV, further, the Polish sources I see give the date of this incident as the night of May 22 to 23, not May 25. The sources I see do not also give the name of this small battle; and the article gives effectively six (assault or battle, and three name places - two for Gdańsk and one for Kiezmark. The stubby article ends with a mention of another battle two months later... it's a mess. I suggest redirecting this to Sieges of Danzig (disambig) and moving on. Alternative redirect target can be the wider conflict (Polish–Swedish War (1626–1629)) where this incident is mentioned. No need for a separate article unless sources can be found that allow us to show this can be expanded (and, well, named properly).

 * Delete bizarre case! The encyclopedia entry doesn't even mention most of what's in this article. Also, it describes the construction of a sconce in 1626, not a takeover of a fort. A blockade in may is mentioned, but no attempted assault. On a side note it is always amusing to be subjected to the unabashedly patriotic tone of old encyclopedias.

 * Delete. As the original PROD nomination suggested this seems to be a garbled version of the Battle of Dirschau but there’s nothing to merge and a redirect doesn’t seem useful. Mccapra (talk) 09:58, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
