An attack by a single division does not seem notable enough to have its own article. This could be covered just as well at Battle of Gettysburg, Second Day. Wild Wolf (talk) 15:03, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. See my remarks about Anderson's assault, above. Hal Jespersen (talk) 19:02, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep The topic is notable, being covered in numerous sources. The way in which the complex and extensively documented Battle of Gettysburg is structured for presentation here is a matter of ordinary editing, not deletion and the nominator should please discuss that at the relevant pages for the battle. Please see WP:BEFORE. Warden (talk) 23:53, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I think the issue here is not if it can be referenced but if this is notable enough to have a seperete article from the Gettysburg article, which I believe is what Hal Jespersen is saying as well. Neither one of us believes that the battle needs to be covered in this much detail. (See the discussion on the MILHIST talk page here.) Wild Wolf (talk) 00:29, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Obvious Keep For all the notability and other keep reasons above for Anderson's assault. Target for Today (talk) 14:37, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Battle of Gettysburg, Second Day (as with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anderson's assault) I'm not seeing that this article expands sufficiently on the existing subsection in that article. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 12:17, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
