Burmese–Siamese War (1767–1775)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Sources do not treat these events as a singular continuous "war" that covered the period from 1767 to 1775. Article is a (previously unattributed, despite the creator having been warned several times) content fork of Taksin. While reorganization of the content away from the Taksin article is probably warranted, this is not the proper way to do so. De-PRODed by User:Andrew Davidson.

 * Keep Taksin is not the right place for this as the title is obscure. There are certainly respectable sources which use titles of this sort for the conflicts of this period.  For example, see this reference work which has entries for Siamese-Burmese War of 1764–69 and Siamese-Burmese War of 1775–76.  This indicates that there are various ways to divide up these conflicts but that titles of this form are reasonable. Andrew🐉(talk) 08:59, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The naming pattern is not in dispute here; otherwise the entire Category:Burmese–Siamese wars would have been contested. What is disputed is the existence of a war taking place from 1767 to 1775. There is already an article for Burmese–Siamese War (1775–1776), and the 1764–69 one you give is a slightly wider framing of Burmese–Siamese War (1765–1767). Do you have a source that says the two countries were at war for the entirety of the time in between? --Paul_012 (talk) 09:20, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Still awaiting your response, Andrew Davidson. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:16, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Merging of these two articles would be a better solution. Sodacan (talk) 10:15, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * With what do you suggest merging? --Paul_012 (talk) 10:51, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The article Burmese–Siamese War (1767–1775) should be merged with Burmese–Siamese War (1775–1776). --Sodacan (talk) 10:55, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * You don't seem to actually be making an argument for keeping the article. All of the content was originally copied from the Taksin article. If merging is suggested, it can be done from the original article and not a redundant fork with a misleading title, which should not be retained. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:29, 9 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep This article is a different, thus it should be kept. It's not an unnecessary fork since it is a different war. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tanakorn Srichaisuphakit (talk • contribs) 10:18, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: Note that the article creator had also split the Taksin article to Taksin's reunification of Siam, which was draftified and recently restored. This is a split do I agree with. The 1767 part purported to be part of the war covered by the nominated article belongs there (or in an aftermath section of the 1765–1767 war article), and is clearly distinct and separate from the Phichai and Chiang Mai campaigns. Lumping the separate conflicts into a "1767–1775 war" is blatantly incorrect. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:29, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
