Deletion of Ottoman-Portuguese War

Comment: Since this discussion gained some traction, I'd just like to take the chance to point out a few issues one last time. As mentioned above, everything in this article falls within the already existing Conquest of Tunis (1535), Ottoman-Portuguese conflicts (1538-1559), Ottoman–Portuguese conflicts (1580–1589)|Ottoman-Portuguese conflicts (1580-1589) or Ottoman naval expeditions in the Indian Ocean (). It's an article about a war, in which no battles are actually detailed or contextualized, only that according to some people, the Portuguese ''fought them really well'' ( ). There's actually no clear structure or sucession of events, only a collection of concepts (). Also, if we take a look at the "declaration of war" section, we find not who declared war, when or why, but that such information can apparently be found at the National Archives of Lisbon... Somewhere (). Though numerous, most sources are actually completely unhelpful since they consist of nothing more than a title. So while I think it's fine to try and pin down the exact single major issue with the article, the whole thing just seems like a dumpster fire

Comment: to  Ottoman-Portuguese confrontations or just '''delete'''.  Much of this is an  about conflicts between the Portuguese and Muslim states that may have owed nominal allegiance to the caliph, but were in practice independent.  The Ottoman Empire did not rule in India or Aceh, so that they (together with much of the conflict in the Indian Ocean) do not belong
