Ping me if WP:THREE with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth about the event are found. No objection to a consensus redirect, but only properly sourced material should be merged.  // Timothy :: talk  03:33, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

First i would like to adress these sources

[1]: "In the Same year the Algerians raided the Spanish Village of Calpe taking 315 Captives mostly women and children.

(this has no doubt a connection the event as it says the same year as Raid on Ceriale and Borghetto, which i made aswell (they both happend in 1637)

[2]: "In 1637, Calpe, The coasts of Valencia was razed to the group by corsairs" now sure, you might say there is no saying of Algerians, but its most likely [[Corsairs of Algiers|Algerian Corsairs], we also see help from the moors which helps make this more clear.

[3]: "Calpe in Valencia was Attacked by Algerian Corsairs" here we see a clear taking of algerian corsairs not only, that in the August of 1637, the Viceroy of Valencia found out about the raid on calpe.

[4]: i admit, here we only have one small mention of the raid, but it gives a deciption of what type of ship was used 'Galleys' that is, but i would understand the removal of this.

• Merge and Redirect to Calpe#History. The enslavement of 315 Spaniards ought to be a significant event, but we have so little detail or background in this article that it cannot be kept as a free-standing article, unless expanded to provide context or merged with an article on Algerian slave-raiding in Spain (or Europe). However merging is a viable option. At an earlier date the village had a population of only 350 people, so that the effect must have been to reduce its size considerably.
