Looks like a minor event in the grand scheme of a war that doesn't meet WP:EVENT or WP:GNG. The only reference in the article that actually discusses the incident, "prizrenpress.com", is a non-RS web portal that describes the insurgents as "brave", "freedom fighters" and "martyrs".

- It was a significant battle, and even if it weren’t, that wouldn’t be a valid excuse to delete the article. Moreover, there are three sources, not just one. Two are Albanian, and one is Serbian. The Albanian sources describe the battle itself, while the other details the units and commanders involved. The Serbian source simply mentions the fallen commander of the battle.
- There are thousands of Wikipedia articles where sources use terms like “brave,” “freedom fighters,” and “martyrs.” If I had written the article that way, it would be a problem, but I have made an effort to keep it neutral. Diti04ZOP (talk) 15:51, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, there's more than one source used, but to meet notability, a topic should be given more than trivial coverage by multiple reliable sources. The Serbian military website only lists the name and date of the soldier killed, without even mentioning the battle. --Griboski (talk) 16:44, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- The Serb Military Website says „He died in a Military Operation trying to capture a Terrorist Group“ It describes the Battle. Also if there aren’t much sources the Battle happend and the Soldiers died why would you want to delete that if the Battle was real? Diti04ZOP (talk) 15:26, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

- Delete fails WP:GNG. Mztourist (talk) 07:46, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, speedy delete should have been used here, but in the event that we are going through the motions, a standard delete also is right. Iljhgtn (talk) 13:03, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
