This looks and smells like a copyright violation. The text appears to have been lifted from a game playing site. I just can't find the place it came from. I'm in two minds about this one. The battle itself was "a small-scale and little-known affair", so is it notable even if we remove the game playing stuff, or should it be deleted as non notable? Or are all historic battles between folk in Persia notable anyway? So I've brought it here for discussion and consensus. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 12:16, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Comment. This debate was originally closed by Ten Pound Hammer at 13:24, 4 March 2012 (UTC), given that the article had been Speedy Deleted by Jimfbleak. An editor subsequently questioned that Speedy Deletion, and the article was restored by Jimfbleak on 11 March. Since the concerns that initiated this AFD (and that led to the speedy) have not been addressed, and since the original result has been overruled, I'm reopening this debate and relisting it.

- comment This is clearly a copyvio of http://www.ne.jp/asahi/luke/ueda-sarson/Gabai.html which has now been found. I'm reflagging it as such with a speedy deletion tag. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 18:32, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Ha, so it is! I'll close and delete momentarily then. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 18:42, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
