Battles of the Mexican–American War

 * Notified: WP:MEXICO, WP:MILHIST

I warned WP:MEXICO two weeks ago that I would nominate this for FLRC if the prose and lead are not written properly. It has been two weeks now, and there has only been 6 edits or so. It currently fails, of course, criteria 1, 2, and some bit of 5, as the citations are not written properly. -- signed by  SRE.K.A nnoyomous .L. 24  (spell my name backwards) at 10:31, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Delist unless major referencing (inline citations) and lead expansion efforts are undertaken. I would imagine that an article about a fairly major war in U.S. history would contain more info, even a list of its battles. Provide a general overview of the war. What were its major battles? Who were some famous military leaders? Perhaps some statistics (most casualties, longest battle, records etc.)? Dabomb87 (talk) 17:57, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Delist Concur with Dabomb87 that there should be more info in this list. Mexican–American War actually has a lot of references and could potentially be used to improve this list.— Chris!  c t 20:01, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Delist - fails WP:WIAFL Cr 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6. There is barely any prose, and the tables need to be improved to current FL standards.--Truco 17:24, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Delist Clearly a subject with many potential sources, so such a lack of referencing is inexcusable. And yeah, the lead is pretty weak as well. Drewcifer (talk) 22:06, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
