Fictional conflict. All the supposed encounters listed in the article either didn't happen (there was no siege of Malacca in 1558), or happened outside the time frame or belong in a more appropriate page such as the

• Then is Clodtfelter (who mentions Malacca) drawing on Wikipedia for his data? Is this another Bicholim? Kges1901 (talk) 23:13, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  WP:OR. The sole content that isn't background (in terms of the date range, and I'm looking at 1559+ as we have a 1538-1559 article) is this sentence in the lead - During this period, the Ottomans attacked Portuguese ships, forts, and settlements in the Indian Ocean, Asia and East Africa. This period came to an end in 1566, with the death of Suleiman the Magnificent, and the Ottoman Empire's following acceptance of Portugal's domination of the Indian Ocean. - which is un-sourced and seems to describe possible piracy and raiding and not much more.Icewhiz (talk) 13:46, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply

• Merge subsection. The "1558" siege of Malacca appears to be based on a typo (see
  Ottoman–Portuguese_conflicts_(1538–1559)#Aftermath which is currently unreferenced. 24.151.116.12 (talk) 18:01, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply

• Merge with Aftermath section of
  Ottoman–Portuguese conflicts (1538–1559). These sorts of conflicts probably did not end in a clear peace treaty, so that further minor conflicts are to be expected. This article attempts to draw together events at Malacca and Bahrain and make them a single conflict, when they are a great distance apart. I would be surprised if the Ottomans has much influence in Aceh. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:24, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply
