The result was   redirect to Battle of Ichkeria. Article is currently a stub and a duplicate of a more substantial article (even if the stub article is older). There is consensus towards redirecting towards the Battle of Ichkeria, so I'll close as such. (non-admin closure) Spirit of Eagle (talk) 04:56, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Battle of Dargo (1842)

Replaced by better name Benjamin Trovato (talk) 01:10, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

This 1-line stub was created by a user who has been blocked. It has been replaced by Battle of Ichkeria, which is what the Russian Wiki calls it. Neither Baddeley nor Gammer nor Blanch, the standard English sources, give it a name, so we might as well be consistent. The name does not need to be retained since no source, to my knowledge, uses it and since it was not a battle of Dargo, but a failed campaign to capture Dargo.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete per nom. No need to have two articles on the one subject. Probably created in good faith so suggest turning into a redirect. Hawkeye7 (talk) 19:07, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. This has been gone about the wrong way. Battle of Dargo (1842) existed first and should have simply been renamed Battle of Ichkeria (if this title is indeed correct). We don't create a new article under a new name then delete the previous article. Given his edit summary on the latter article, User:Benjamin Trovato clearly knew the former article already existed when he created it. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:32, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to which ever name is the WP:COMMONNAME. These appear to both be the same event, but apparently there is a disagreement as to what the proper name is.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 22:49, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Battle of Ichkeria. That is a substantive article.  Since this is about Russian history, we should be willing to take the lead fropm Russian WP.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:05, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
