WP:GNG and WP:RS. There is one source for this topic, and the notability of it appears scant and obscure. The source itself seems to not meet the criteria for a reliable source. A bicyclette (talk) 19:57, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, Move to Battle of Landing Zone 27 Victor As the Battle of LZ 27 Victor, this is covered by Lewis Sorley in an account of US Army armor cavalry combat in Vietnam.pp 339-340. Sorley ascribes the impact of the engagement on VC/NVA tactics: "After LZ 27 Victor they generally avoided infantry assaults on positions occupied by U.S. armor.", describing it as a "small but significant battle". It is also mentioned in a volume of the US Army official history of Vietnam, pp 297-299. That's WP:SIGCOV in 2 WP:RS. Not only that, but in Korean Chae Myung-shin mentioned it in his memoirs [1].

Would you mind filling in some details? There's scant information on this. 00:21, 12 June 2018 (UTC)~

• Keep. I'm not even going to bother to list any of the numerous book sources that cover this battle (you need to search for "Duc Co"). The nomination is a complete failure of WP:BEFORE. SpinningSpark 22:52, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not finding a single book source on it oddly enough. 00:19, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Just a point, searching the specific date, August 6th, 1966 and Duc Co just returns information that two villages were "mistakenly believed to be VC camps", resulting in 67 civilian casualties. There's no information on actual battles taking place here except this specific source. User:a_bicyclette

• Keep Carland is WP:RS. Mztourist (talk) 07:11, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawing request for deletion. A good source was found, with significant more detail on the matter. (User talk:a_bicyclette)

• Keep Seems notable per my BEFORE. oppose move to ""Battle of Landing Zone 27 Victor" - which seems less common.Icewhiz (talk) 14:41, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
