Tagged as {{
db-hoax}}, no Ghits outside Wikipedia under this title. Nevertheless, I am unable to make an informed decision whether this is a hoax as I lack the necessary language skills to evaluate the Turkish and Azerbaijani versions of the article. —

- Support per the article talk page, Beshogur states no information in either English or Turkish sources mentioning this battle. -- Kansas Bear ( talk) 13:03, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- Comment I can see sufficient Turkish sources to be confident that a battle took place there in 1387, but it’s not clear how significant it was. Mccapra ( talk) 22:29, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- Comment. This machine translation from here was unattributed – now remedied. I can't read Turkish, but this source (page 223) confirms that there was an engagement at Çapakçur at this time; whatever else, this doesn't seem to be fully a hoax. Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 11:01, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- Comment If this article is kept, we will need hatnotes to distinguish it from the almost identically titled Battle of Chapakchur. Otherwise, a redirect may be a good idea. — Kusma ( talk) 12:08, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
- Weak delete per Kansas Bear, but I have not checked whether the current sources verify the content, and several editors above appear to confirm such a skirmish took place in 1387. Nevertheless, the notability of the battle should be established, and the article should be moved to a more appropriate title. Aintabli ( talk) 18:29, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

- Comment I have fixed cite 12 in the Turkish article (the source mentioned by Justlettersandnumbers above which is now at https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/download/article-file/368093) and I see that in turn cites (their cite 20) "History of Tamerlane and His Successors" which is available in English but unfortunately not as an ebook Chidgk1 ( talk) 18:13, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
