[edit] Battle of Malakal

non notable wars. google/google news search: [1][2].--Ghaaa 18:43, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Strong keep. This is a very recent event, so it would make sense for it to not have many ghits yet...and, more importantly, the conflict isn't always going to be called the "Battle of Malakal," so I don't know why you only searched for that in quotes. Take a look here: http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&lr=&filter=0&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&tab=wn&q=Malakal&btnG=Search+News searching just for "Malakal" bring up over a hundred stories about this particular conflict. --^hello,gadren 19:33, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Strong keep This a current event that surely will be written and hopefully referenced extensively. Why on Earth would anyone think of deleting this. Briaboru 3 December 2006 (UTC)

strong keep - "non-notable" + main page news = incongruous. ugen64 20:06, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Strong keep per nom. --Ludvig 20:21, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Strong keep per nom. Work of probable sockpuppet see user Ghaaa's contributions. --TheFEARgod (Ч) 20:37, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
