Not independently notable content fork. Cinderella157 (talk) 10:31, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

A google search for the specific terms "Battle of the Malala River" and "Battle of Malala River" returned only one hit - the WP article. No hits on google scholar or JSTOR for these specific terms though

a JSTOT search for "Malala River" returned one hit [https://www-jstor-org.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/action/doBasicSearch?Query=%22Malala+River%22&so=rel here] which similarly reports the event, describing it as a "brief fire- fight" (p 41). Calling this a battle is a wiki construct and a misnomer. The article, Datu Ali has a section The Battle of the Malala River with much more "detail" to the point of being excessive and unencyclopedic. The article is bannered requiring cleanup because it is essay-like. Overwriting the section at Datu Ali (retitled) with the content from Battle of the Malala River would be a step forward - if there is consensus here. I have copied this article's content to User:Cinderella157/sandbox 1 anticipating such a course. Cinderella157 (talk) 11:08, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
