Second Genoese–Savoyard War 1. Yes. 2. No. The most used source are the 17th century memoirs of Edmund Ludlow (the article doesn't mention him, so who knows what if any role he played in the conflict).

I was initially confused as I thought this was about Netanyahu's other son Yair Netanyahu , who is definitely a public figure and has enough long-term coverage to pass WP:GNG. Never heard of Avener either. Yair is a nasty, nasty piece of work and in a case of extreme horseshoe theory often uses ant...

Thanks yet again! This thread will be useful if I can just remember which keywords to search for to pull up global contributions and foreign language links.

Maybe "video of WP:ANI"

That's great, I appreciate you posting it here. I imagine user links are so much more complicated because of the language difference in the prefix User: / Benutzer: / Lankide: etc.: Is there a two-letter prefix for commons?
