Keep Subject passes WP:GNG. Three versions of the article in other languages. Article is incomplete and could be greatly expanded with material from the Danish and Swedish versions, but WP:deletion is not cleanup. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 23:02, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
merge per nom As usual with war articles, it could be padded out further but it's clear from the battle article that this is only the first stage of action and ought not to be pulled out of the larger context. And neither article is particularly long. Mangoe (talk) 23:19, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge The article for the Assault on Copenhagen (1659) relies significantly on the siege for context. Although the siege and the assault can be separated into distinct events (and therefore separate articles), they rely heavily on each other. I think readers would have an easier time understanding the broader picture if the two articles were merged. Uffda608 (talk) 18:58, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note that the merge will destroy the links with the foreign language articles, as WikiData cannot handle many to one relationships. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:07, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If the merged article was maintained as a redirect, the interlanguage links would be preserved. Readers looking for the English language version of, for example, Københavns belejring (1658-1660), would be redirected to the target article. Uffda608 (talk) 19:34, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
