Does not cite sources. Only one reference. Does not meet the standard of a quality article... Sennti (talk) 09:07, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The lack of inline citations, presence of a single reference and the current state of article quality are not reasons to delete. Not separately -- nor taken together. If this remains the extent of the deletion rationale, oppose. We do see that there is a fairly well developed referenced article on the Japanese wiki, fwiw.

Keep. No valid reason to delete has been given. Srnec (talk) 01:01, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No reason to document the minutiae of skirmishes of a war, which would be tedious read. Unless something significant and noteworthy happened at this event, it does not need an article. ValarianB (talk) 14:33, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~, some citations in the Japanese version of the article (ja:廊坊事件) are primary sources, but not all are. There seems to be plenty to develop this and show it passes GNG. Smmurphy^(Talk) 21:17, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per Ansh666 (below). It can be re-spun off into its own article if necessary later. Smmurphy^(Talk) 23:02, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's also possible that this could be redirected or merged to Battle of Beiping–Tianjin#The Langfang Incident, which contains a bit more information but no inline citations. ansh 666 21:34, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per User:Ansh666 for now. Timmyshin (talk) 02:28, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect: agree with Ansh666 that redirect seems the best solution here for the timebeing. I have no issues with the article being resurrected later, though, if more information and sources are provided. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 06:10, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
REdirect -- Too little content to keep. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:25, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
