The Battle of Lake Erie (Put-in-Bay)[edit]

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. — Hex (❝?!❞) 14:45, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
