Gusar light cavalry

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article discusses the development of hussars in the mediaeval Serbian military. With no reliable sources (one of the two references is self-published, and the other is a wargaming website) there's nothing in this article that belongs in Wikipedia. Under normal conditions, I'd simply redirect this to "hussar", but it's an unlikely redirect — substituting "G" for "H" is likely the result of transliteration between the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets [q.v. the Russian article on ru:О. Генри, which transliterates to "O. Genry" rather than O. Henry] and thus not likely to be a plausible redirect. Nyttend (talk) 15:28, 31 January 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Comment: Please see here, here, and here.  The first source, in particular, indicates that the term "gusar" took on a special nuance.  To me it looks like a merge/redirect would probably be the best outcome, though whether to Hussar or to a particular national article I can't say.
