Rescue of Mitsunari

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article seems to be about a map in the game Samurai Warriors 2, which does not appear to be notable. Nn123645 (talk) 03:44, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment What is your opinion of the author's other two articles, Siege of Edo Castle and Battle of Kusegawa? Fg2 (talk) 04:24, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment Well, the article is obviously not very good, and its focus on the game is unfortunate, but much of the content in Samurai Warriors is based on actual events and history, however tenuously. It definitely features a number of battles that are based on actual major historical events, which tend to be inherently notable. Now, I don't know enough about the subject matter to know whether this particular event ever took place in any form, or if it would be notable enough to merit an article of its own, but it might not be wise to dismiss the article as gamecruft simply because it's written by someone who probably knows much more about the game than the history it references. -- Captain Disdain (talk) 09:58, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete I suggested a timeline-version of the documentation of SW battles instead of the three articles that he created. I have copied the text and will paste it onto my Reminders subpage and work in a timeline article.  But for regular articles, this just does not fit the modus operandi of Wikipedia.  -Blue Caper  (talk) 13:36, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. This would be a fabulous source on the historical incident, which merits coverage somewhere if we don't all ready have it. Unfortunately, I'm having great difficulty reconciling what's written in the book and this article, making me think that the article is either incorrect, or focusing on a non-notable sub-skirmish instead of the notable incident. If it's the former we should delete, if its the latter, by the time we move this to a new title in rewrite it, it would be just as easy to start a frest article with a proper history.
