A skirmish with 10-12 jihadists killed is not a "battle". Clarityfiend (talk) 21:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the only source which report something happening in dayet with the french army is [1], which is a copy of the french wikipedia article. Comte0 (talk) 23:27, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and per Comte0. We don't need articles on minor battles unless they have some particular significance. Nick-D (talk) 09:56, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There's no real support (in terms of significant coverage) for a page declaring an individual battle. Looked in both English and French and could not find anything substantive. AbstractIllusions (talk) 12:20, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Operation Serval. It's the outcome of this incident, which might better be described as a hostage crisis. Renaming and expanding might also be an option if anybody wants to put the work in. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 21:36, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, a number of the editor's created articles might better serve as subsections of Operation Serval than as stand-alone articles; particularly as most of them might better be called "engagements" or "firefights" than "battles". --Andreas Philopater (talk) 01:01, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
