Battle of Habbaniyah

[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unsourced sensationalism. Can't find reliable sources for this event; it might be related to what the Encyclopedia of Middle East Wars calls the "battle of Donkey Island", but the figures don't match.

(Finding sources is hard because there actually was a Battle of Habbaniyah -- in 1941.) QVVERTYVS (hm?) 21:35, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Whether or not there's a topic at the heart of this that's worth having an article on seems little relevant to the article we have. It's titled the Battle of Habbaniyah, but it discusses military action in Husaybah, halfway across the country, and not remotely "on the outskirts of Ramadi" (unless there's another Husaybah I can't find information about...). Regardless, I think the best course of action here is to blow this up, making room for an article about the actual 1941 Battle of Habbaniyah (should someone choose to write it).
