Came across this while patrolling. Unfortunately, I cannot confirm that this event occurred. Of the two sources cited, one seems to be PRIMARY and the other apparently created by a girls' school so probably fails WP:RS—neither of these helps in terms of WP:GNG or WP:NEVENT. b uidhe 19:01, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No significant coverage. I feel like it may be a hoax. Either way, we don't even have the article on the city itself, so I say delete. Analog Horror, (Speak) 02:01, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- The war may well have been real. Whether or not the event occurred, I do not know. I do not read Chinese and cannot follow this up, but I would have expected there to be some newspaper reports, which would be RS. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:54, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:V. There is nothing on Google books or scholar. Perhaps the name is misspelled, perhaps it's a hoax. Bearian (talk) 00:31, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
