Deletion of Battle of salyersville

Comment: The article indeed gives an alternative name, "Battle of Ivy Point Hill". There are two Ghits for "Ivy Point Hill", one of which is Wikipedia. Neither says anything about a battle on December 4, 1863. The National Park Service has no battle in December 1863 for all of Kentucky. Sure, this could have happened (although I then would suspect serious flaws in the numbers given), but how are we to |verify it

Comment: per nom" means "by the nominator's reasoning". Unfortunately, you just admitted that the article is founded on hearsay, which hardly counts as a |reliable source and thus is unsuited for Wikipedia. It's not about truth, but |verifiability
