 * Keep a very notable event covered VERY substantially in reliable independent sources. of lasting significance. One of the key events in the conflict and discussed as such in reliable independent sources. Candleabracadabra (talk) 04:49, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * where is the lasting significance? the article contains no new sources since Janurary 2010. LibStar (talk) 04:51, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Covered in lots of books and article on the war and soldiers' experiences in the war. Candleabracadabra (talk) 05:26, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Please list them here rather than saying WP:MUSTBESOURCES. I'd be interested in seeing them thanks. LibStar (talk) 06:04, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * That essay was created with material that was removed from WP:ATA. Unscintillating (talk) 03:57, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

regardless, the onus on keep !voters is to demonstrate existence of sources, in this case Candleabracadabra has claimed existence of lots of sources. LibStar (talk) 04:53, 20 February 2014 (UTC) Still waiting for these lots of sources. LibStar (talk) 10:40, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * In addition to the numerous sources cited in the article a Google Books search for Garmsir turns up lots of substantial covreage. I have no objection to merging this incident into the Garmsir article as the area seems to have been a hotbed of conflict during the war. Candleabracadabra (talk) 15:23, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * where are the sources after January 2010 to meet WP:LASTING. LibStar (talk) 15:55, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * How do I do a Google News search for the past four years? Candleabracadabra (talk) 16:51, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * you claim lots of ongoing coverage exists, so obviously you've seen these articles. I'm still waiting for these sources. LibStar (talk) 02:55, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
