Azov War (1501-1502): The article was also created by a user who has been blocked for being a sockpuppet of the user Ea-Nasir, in case that information helps.  Withdrawn by nominator as sources have been found Gaismagorm ( talk ) 23:08, 11 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .   Expand, don't delete.    The Russian Wikipedia article [1] for Meñli I Giray , who was the Crimean Khan, has the following paragraph (via Google translate): In the winter of 1501-1502 , Sheikh-Ahmed, the khan of the Great Horde, began to prepare for a new campaign against the Crimean Khanate .  Mengli Giray, warned of the impending invasion, ordered the mobilization of the entire male population over 15 years old [24] .  Khan of the Great Horde, Sheikh-Ahmed, at the confluence of the Pine River into the Don, joined with the army of his elder brother Seyid-Ahmed [24] .  The brothers built a fortification here, preparing to repel the attack of the Crimean Khan.  However, the khans soon quarreled, and Seid-Ahmed with his detachments retreated to Astrakhan [24] .  Ottoman Sultan Bayezid IIinvited the Khan of the Great Horde to migrate to the Southern Bug, but the Turkish ambassador was captured and killed by the subjects of the Khan [25] .  The references are to a book in Russian, which I cannot obtain or read even if I could get my hands on it.   But the content of the paragraph largely matches the content of this article that was submitted for deletion.   I would tend to assume good faith and trust that the citations aren't made up, but unless someone wants to verify it once and for all, I land on the side of keeping the article.  RecycledPixels ( talk ) 00:10, 12 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] i tried to search up the references and didnt get any books.  the first one did give me a russian wikipedia article.  is it possible for you to provide a link for the book (using google books or something) Gaismagorm ( talk ) 00:20, 12 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] unless of course you are talking about the russian wikipedia article, however i do still feel that the english wikipedia article needs some much better references.  Gaismagorm ( talk ) 00:23, 12 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] It's references #24 and #25 in the Russian Wikipedia article I linked.

Pages 74-77 of Volume 1.
