Battle of Pedasa

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

This article appears to be a work of original research. I have been unable to find any sources describing a "Battle of Pedasa" and the article is wholly uncited. Quite apart from it being very badly written, the article presents a description of an event that reliable sources don't seem to cover. This obviously raises issues of notability as well, but the original research issue probably makes notability moot in this case. ChrisO (talk) 00:02, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete--I agree with ChrisO. This battle is new to me also, can't find anything to corroborate this article, which I assume then is OR. And yes, this is very badly written and unsourced: the sources given are "The Persian Army, 560-330 BC (Elite)" and "HaT 1/72 Achaemenid Persian Army # 8117." What are those? Books? A model army, scale 1:72? I can't make heads or tails of it. Seems to be another work in progress that should not have been put up. How user:Secthayrabe could, in all seriousness, remove an "unreferenced" tag and claim the article had sources is a mystery to me (see this. Please delete. Drmies (talk) 00:37, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete This article is unreferenced and contradictory. It states it "was a major point in the Ionian Revolt" and "very little is written about this battle." Since little has been written about it, I'm lead to wonder how major it actually was and if it can actually be referenced. A ni  Mate  03:02, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete this page and Battle of Mylasa are on my watchlist. Although I don't remember exactly why, it had something to do with me marking them for speedy deletion when they were initially created with virtually no information and the user insisting that info was forthcoming.  Well, I still don't see any info.  Junk this and Battle of Mylasa. JuJube (talk) 06:07, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
