Prop Delete
Rationale
See Talk:Skirmish at Tranquil Repose. This is flatly absurd. This kind of article needs to be rooted out of this wiki. Except in very rare cases articles should not be created for events or things that have no names. Battles in particular do not deserve their own names/pages unless the name is given in a primary source. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 06:59, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

- The evil dude - A proper event that happenes deserves an article, even if it hasn't got a name. The War in the Medusa Cascade was on a massive scale, for one the Earth was moved, and two, the Daleks attacked every major city and major military base. Its either War in the Medusa Cascade or The Daleks flew in their spaceships to Earth to destroy every military base that poses a threat, while UNIT and others defend themselves, making a war because it would be happening in lots of places around Earth.
- Tangerineduel 07:33, 29 July 2008 (UTC) Well perhaps 2009 Dalek Attack on Earth. But 'War in the Medusa Cascade' isn't really correct, the only battle happens on Earth.
