Battle of Sobota

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I cannot find significant coverage for this battle--even Google Scholar turns up nothing. The only source listed is dead for me, and the article has been largely untouched for several years. And note the first sentence: "The Battle of Sobota was a battle of little importance."  • ɔ   ʃ   →  22:30, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Redirect/Merge to Second Northern War. No sources and the only citation is dead like the nominator already said.-- White Shadows you're breaking up 23:04, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Although finding English-language sources may be more difficult for a battle that was of more interest to scholars in Poland and in Sweden, sources do exist . The POV judgment that someone threw in about it being "of little importance" should be weighed against Charles X Gustav of Sweden capturing Warsaw soon afterward.

 * Keep This doesn't look like a hoax - there are articles about it in Polish and Swedish WPs, and the occasional source seems to exist.--Kotniski (talk) 16:46, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Found and added 3 sources with little difficulty. I will now remove the tag calling for more references; although I am sure more can be found, I think that's enough. 2 of the refs gave me additional details, which I also added. I see someone else has modified the first sentence, which looks rather like a test of our policy on claims of notability, but I would have done so; the sources make clear that while not one of the most world-changing battles ever, it was not unimportant.
