Deletion of Siege of Gordium

Comment: I was going to close this debate as delete per , but then I saw http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Campaignbox_Wars_of_Alexander_the_Great&offset=20080129152202&limit=4&action=history this. Since I have little experience closing AfDs that are more complex than 3 deletes and no keeps, I'm going to defer this to another admin

Comment: Like Doug, I've been unable to find any references to a siege or even a battle at Gordium/Gordion, even in the book . Unfortunately this seems to be yet another example of an article where {{user|Ariobarza}} has used imagination to stitch together poorly-interpreted snippets from Google Books. It's a classic case of |original research by synthesis. See also related AfDs at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Siege of Doriskos and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Battle of the Tigris, also
