Nguludi Raid

Not notable. Only has one reference which is not "significant coverage" under WP:GNG. A WP:BEFORE search found no WP:RS to make the article notable and therefore the article should be deleted. -KAP03(Talk &bull;&#32;Contributions &bull;&#32;Email) 19:26, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. Not sure how you found no reliable sources. A quick search reveals the raid is mentioned in The Rise of Nationalism in Central Africa: The Making of Malawi and Zambia, The Catholic Missionaries Within and Beyond the Politics of Exclusivity in Colonial Malawi, 1901-1945, Catholics, Peasons and Chewa Resistance in Nyasaland. Please take more care when nominating African content for deletion. A brief internet search with your default settings is not sufficient. See Systemic bias.

On 26 January, a group of rebels attacked a Catholic mission at Nguludi belonging to Father Swelsen. The mission was defended by four African armed guards, one of whom was killed, Father Swelsen was also wounded in the fighting and the church was burnt down.
 * Delete and merge/redirect to Chilembwe uprising, the article about the uprising which it is part of. We can't justifiably have an article about a 'battle' as tiny as this one is. the entire article is:
 * So we have established that there was one person killed, one wounded and a church burnt. This is a verifiable fact, but you can't possibly build an article out of it, without said article becoming a coatrack. It would make much more sense to include this paragraph in the larger article about the conflict. It is not really helping our readers to keep this separate.
 * the nom's reasoning may be slightly deficient, I am saying this should be merged as being too niche a subject, not because it isn't notable. Dysklyver  13:20, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Happy with merging into Chilembwe uprising. Greenman (talk) 18:01, 25 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Merge is the AFD outcome consistent with Dysklyver and Greenman's reasonable discussion. -- do ncr  am  00:04, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
