Battle of Crazy Woman's Fork

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable. Suorce four doesn't mention the battle. Worse, source 2 doesn't seem to mention the battle either, even though it is used as an explicit source for it. And his obituary mentions an incident that may be this battle, but without the location or date, and states that he was alone. So either this is this "battle", and the information in the article is wrong, or it is another "battle", and the article has no sources left for it. Either way, it isn't a notable battle but a minor incident. Fram (talk) 08:01, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Stick a crazy woman's fork in it; it's done. Oddly enough, there was a larger clash (called the Battle of Crazy Woman Fork, without the possessive) about a year later that may or may not be significant enough for an article. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:00, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Not a battle but a minor, non-notable skirmish. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  05:39, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Powder River Expedition (1865). Seems an obvious thing to look into before considering deletion.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:57, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * What's the point? The redirect will get zero real hits, since it is an invented name. Merging it? The information is already there, under the same invented name by the same editor. So even keeping this for attribution reasons isn't necessary, it is already attributed to him or her. Fram (talk) 14:05, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
