Tunisian-Sicilian War

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I’m not sure whether this article is a hoax or just a total garbling of sources. The creator authored several rather odd articles, some unsourced, others of questionable reliability. This article takes a number of reliable sources and weaves them together to invent a war that essentially didn’t exist. The term ‘Tunisian-Sicilian War’ is used only in copies of this article on Wikipedia mirrors. Also many of the specific events set out in the article are not supported by the sources cited. For example I can’t find a single source saying that Ariana and La Goulette were occupied until 1808 or indeed, at all) while plenty of sources show that La Goulette was uninterruptedly under Tunisian control throughout this period. There was no war in which Norway, Spain and the USA fought Morocco, Egypt and Tunis. It’s total fantasy. This isn’t a matter of a few things to correct - the whole thing needs scrapping per WP:TNT.

 * Delete per WP:TNT, WP:OR/WP:SYNTH, and WP:V. Even wars from 1806 should be verifiable. I want point out what appears to be fairly clear original research by the same editor, at Battle of Vinland (1010) and Battle of Stamford (918), and two prodded articles noted on their talk page. We just do not publish original research. Bearian (talk) 17:19, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per above, the war does not seem existed, WP:SYNTH. - MA Javadi (talk) 22:04, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
