The article claims there are no English language sources for this event. That in itself is a bit suspicious - the Royal Navy was pretty scrupulous about recording every victory, defeat and inconclusive action. Moreover I see that Meleager and the same RN ships mentioned supposedly captured a Spanish ship by the same name around the same time.[1] This calls into question the two Spanish language sources used to support all the contentious statements in this article.
So, there are WP:V issues and there are also WP:N issues. While I appreciate that at this point in history it might seem that for the Spanish navy not to lose a ship is a 'victory', in reality I think an"inconclusive" result might be more appropriate. Assuming this event even happened. Wiki-Ed (talk) 21:43, 6 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
