Combat of Évora de Alcobaça

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Skirmish with only one known casualty. Can't find any significant sources online, though there shouldn't be; that said, if it's significant, we'd expect sources to exist in subsequent historiography. The only source given here is an entry in the Lisbon Gazette; being a contemporary source during the Peninsular War, we note this as routine and insignificant, as there is no further mention of it or analysis. The only other mention I can find of it is/are derived from the dispatches/notes of the Duke of Wellington, but there it is passing, routine, and vastly insignificant.

 * Merge to the article about the parish of Évora de Alcobaça, wher it happened (which I have just created). As Nick-D says this is likely just another smallish combat, not notable by itself; but it is most likely notable enough to be worth a mention within the context of the history of the parish where it happened. - Nabla (talk) 12:51, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete (or merge) -- This can only have been a minor skirmish, from the numbers involved. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:53, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
