Place does not appear to exist but to be a misinterpretation of St Omer-La Bassée, an arena of military operations named for 2 towns in the Pas-de-Calais, not for the Saint Omer in Calvados, Basse-Normandie Yngvadottir (talk) 17:57, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Duplicate, ~~I think the user was talking about the town of 'Saint-Omer' located in 'Basse-Normandie', (lower Bormandie)~~.

Looks like Yngvadottir was 100% correct, it has nothing to do with the town. Either way, it should be deleted. FFMG (talk) 12:52, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, aside from everything else, this article (whether intentionally or not) is entirely an error; its presence thus hurts the encyclopedia, so delete per WP:IAR. Nyttend (talk) 21:37, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to St Omer-La Bassée / Saint Omer-La Bassée, which currently lacks an article but has several mentions on Wikipedia. Mjroots (talk) 08:45, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good idea if enough info can be found on the area of engagement; it comes up in WWI also. But a new article would have to be written. It isn't one town and it isn't in Normandy. (I put a fuller version of my findings on the article talkpage; looks like you ran the same searches I did) Yngvadottir (talk) 12:02, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
