Some minor mentions in niche publications, but I couldn't establish that it meets WP:NSONG or WP:GNG. Boleyn (talk) 20:43, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Can you describe the "niche publications" that you discovered in your WP:BEFORE search? If you're referring to The Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-century Land Warfare: An Illustrated World View and Transactions of the Philological Society currently cited in the article, then I don't think it's appropriate to dismiss reliable published sources as "niche publications", simply because you're not familiar with them. — Toughpigs (talk) 22:58, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, user:Toughpigs. There were a few, including those you've mentioned and others like Soldier Life in the Union and Confederate Armies which weren't mentioned in the article. I don't mean anything negative by niche, and I did not mean that I was unfamiliar with the books, just that they 'appeal to a small, specialized section of the population' and a small mention in a publication like this may make a topic appear more noteworthy than it is, as the book is highly specialised.
