The result was Speedy Keep. Procedural close - As noted below the editor is new and obviously WP:BEFORE wasn't followed, No objections to anyone renominating if they do have genuine concerns. (non-admin closure) – Davey 2010 Talk 18:23, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Balkans Campaign (World War I)

Article is virtually entirly unsourced. Half the sources just tell populations of people in the userbox. Only the Italian section is sourced, and that only comes from one book. Bottom line is this article as-is does not add anything to Wikipedia. SourAcidHoldout (talk) 13:15, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep while the article isn't in good shape currently. it is a topic that is both notable (appears in news search, books about it, scholarly articles, etc) and is verifiable. WP:DINC If an article is bad we fix it. if we don't have the time or ability to fix it ourselves we tag it (which this article has been tagged) but we don't delete articles for being poorly written. We delete articles if they are about non-notable subjects, unverifiable subjects, or infringe on copyright. Bryce Carmony (talk) 16:07, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Being unsourced is not a valid reason for deletion. I see the user is new to WP, so I'd recommend they have a read of WP:BEFORE. Note that the Romanian and Russian versions of this article are at Featured Article standard, so there's at least something to plunder from, if needed.
