Keep - An article created by a Sockmaster is not a valid reason for deletion. Claiming an article is POV is also not a valid reason for deletion. This seems to be a case of WP:IDL. This is a valid notable article which is referenced appropriately. IJA (talk) 15:13, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - as per rationale by IJA. Also, the article is about a real event and is referenced. --Mondiad (talk) 18:16, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep - Yeah it's pretty stupid to nominate every single article created by AH..., Anyway, I'm not seeing any beneficial advantages to deleting the article .... Plus it meets GNG anyway.... –Davey2010^Talk 19:59, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This article cites many source that discuss this battle in some detail. See, for example, this book, which is cited in the article. It appears that this was a real conflict that has received coverage by a number of historians. If there are problems with WP:POV, then those should be worked out on the talk page rather than at AFD. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 06:55, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Uprising of Lumë (the alternative title given in the lead), unless someone can point to an appropriate merge or redirect target. It seems to be a factual account of events in part of Albania, and may be regarded as one of the campaigns of the Balkan Wars of that period. I suspect that it has been titled "battle of", so that a "battle" template could be applied to it. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:17, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep articles like that should be improved, not deleted. SkywalkerPL (talk) 17:04, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
