The Battle of Lake Erie (Put-in-Bay)

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

It's time this article went away. It duplicates the subject of the article Battle of Lake Erie; Much of it is blatant POV; since it lacks in-line citations, much of it also appears to be OR; and what little remains is almost unsalvageably poor grammar and vocabulary.

 * Delete per nom. The article is a clear WP:content fork for a much older and much better written Battle of Lake Erie. I don't even think that there is any sourced info in this one that is not already in Battle of Lake Erie, so there is really nothing to merge here either.
 * Delete It pains me to see such a long article removed, but as was said above, much of this is presently available in the Battle of Lake Erie article. Lazulilasher (talk) 17:25, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

 * keep or merge The article nominated has much more detail than the article suggested for preservation. The latter deals with the whole naval campaign Lake Erie, whereas the Put-in-Bay article is mainly converned with the battle.  The article under discussion needs wikifying and providing with references: I presume there are books on this: either - lack fo references is not a ground for deletion, only verifiability.  The description is far too detailed to be the result of original research in the sense meant in WP: the author almost certainly has a source: he has merely failed to cite it.  tag as unreferenced.

 * Delete This article is massively biased, and has few citations. Borg Sphere (talk) 11:56, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
