Battle of Bassorah

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This nomination by 96.251.79.127 (talk) was incomplete. The edit summary was empty; no reason for deletion was given. From the look of it, the article has been tagged with and  for over a year, and I can see that the discussion page has some suspicious sections like "Probable Copyright Violation", "Please check references" and "Neutrality of this article in question". The nominator has made no other edits outside this topic and I'm not expressing any opinions myself. May qualify for WP:Speedy keep. — Rankiri (talk) 23:51, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. The first four of these books indicate that this is usually known as the "Day of the Camel", and using that as a search argument finds hundreds more reliable sources, including such illustrious works as The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, demonstrating clear notability.

 * Keep as per Phil Bridger. While the article needs improvement, the subject is clearly notable and there are large numbers of reliable sources available. Edward321 (talk) 22:49, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. But remove any original research.Dr. Szląchski (talk) 03:52, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
