 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   no consensus. How on earth this is still open is far beyond me. There doesn't seem to be any consensus; if retitling is needed, it can be boldy done, if it's still felt deletion is required then a new nom should be made instead of having this languish on a two-month-old AfD page.

Battle of Bitlis



 * I can find only other "Battle of Bitlis" in google books,

McMeekin refers to another "Battle of Bitlis" which took place in 1914, Fatih Ünal calls this "battle" "Bitlis Rebellion" or "Molla Selim (Mullah Selim) Rebellion"

Erickson refers to another "Battle of Bitlis" which was engaged by the 1st Expeditionary Force.

Both battle are not same as the "Battle of Bitlis" explained in this article.


 * If this battle had continued about 6 months (March 2-August 24, 1916), it's very difficult for us to deal with this article as a battle.
 * Sourced information can be transferred to articles such as Military career of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Caucasus Campaign etc.
