Page move[edit]

I've moved this page from its current title ("Second Battle of Bir el Gubi") to the more neutral descriptive title ("Action at..." disambiguated by date, as there were two of them) per WP:TITLE. None of the sources I've ever seen talk about a battle of Bir el Gubi, let alone a first or second one; there is a reference in the official history to events at Bir el Gubi in December 1941, but these were just another day in the slogging match that Crusader had become; they were no more significant than the events of the day before, or the day after, and probably don't warrant a page to themselves here. I trust everyone is OK with that. Xyl 54 (talk) 21:42, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Also, the event as described in the history (a broad-ranging engagement between XXX Corps and most of the Axis forces) certainly wasn't some heroic last stand by a bunch of Young Fascists. So this may well need re-writing, to give a broader perspective... Xyl 54 (talk) 21:43, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
