Battle of Kiawe Bridge

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is a one sentence stub with an infobox that has languished since it was created in 2009 by an author who was later blocked for sockpuppeting and has the dubious honor of having most of their work PRODED or AfDed. The one "reference" that is provided appears to be completely erroneous. Most of the content in the infobox appears completely made-up. According to The King's African Rifles there was a very minor engagement at the bridge in question in April 1917 (three months before the article says it happened) that led to the British seizing it. As per that source, which is a good one, the commanders names listed here are completely wrong and the numbers of the forces involved is way off. The "battle" hardly appears notable in anyway and this article should either be deleted or merged into East African campaign (World War I). Indy beetle (talk) 07:22, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
