No sources, notability unestablished. A Google Books search failed to identify any sources whatsoever for this "Battle". Peacemaker67 (send... over) 21:37, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: What about Serbian language sources? Maybe its better to give a chance to new editor who created this article to present sources? --Antidiskriminator (talk) 00:07, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I quickly found one Serbian language source which served as basis for text in Večernje Novosti (link and link). The latter actually names this event as Battle of Zavlaka (UspeŠnom ishodu borbe za oslobođenje Krupnja pripomogla je i bitka kod Zavlake i Mojkovića [sucessful outcome of the Battle for Krupanj was helped by the Battle of Zavlaka and Mojković]).--Antidiskriminator (talk) 00:18, 19 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete The first thing you read on a Google Translation of the Serb-version of this article is that it is named a "skirmish" and not a battle. Second thing is that they speak of a Chetnik victory, not a decisive victory. My conclusion is that the author has a serious POV what renders the article unreliable.

 * Neither the use of the term "battle" to describe a skirmish nor describing the victory as "decisive" are reasons for deletion. Neither, in fact, is a serious POV problem. If the skirmish happened and reliable sources speak of it, then we can have an article on it. I have no opinion on the article at the moment. Srnec (talk) 07:09, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Exactly. "Google Translation of the Serb-version of this article" is not a valid reason for deletion.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 07:40, 19 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment - This seems like a routine skirmish from WWII. Sourcing showing is zilch. I'm not sure where the Keep/Delete line lies on such matters, but this one seems very, very weak at a glance. Carrite (talk) 21:06, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree with you. What about merging with Uprising in Serbia?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 21:13, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Agree that anything that can be reliably sourced should be upmerged to Uprising in Serbia and this article deleted. It is not notable in its own right. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 07:20, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
 * If you merge anything from this article, than it can't be deleted. See WP:MAD for more info. 46.107.88.236 (talk) 13:12, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
