The result was delete. The merge/redirect comment seems to be arguing under a misapprehension so I've disregarded it. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 19:34, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:INVALIDBIO, nothing is really known about this person specifically, and the article is just a restatement of the family tree. Already mentioned in relatives' articles with no loss of information. Prod removed without explanation. Avilich (talk) 19:33, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete having a bunch of relatives who were notable does not make one notable. Wikipedia is not a generalogical dictionary where we have articles just to make the relations between other notable people clear.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:15, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

merge/redirect -- Archon of Athens does not seem to have been an important enough post for every holder of whom we know to have an article. This subject was not even archon and the article has nothing but genealogical information. I thus consider the subject a NN person, but we might redirect to a more notable relative, probably Herodes Atticus. It is my understanding that at this period Athens was a mere provincial town (civitas) within Achaia (Roman province), whose capital was Corinth. The archon was thus merely similar to a county magistrate. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:11, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your comment is confusing. This is a different person than Lucius Vibullius Rufus, the archon, and so the archonship has nothing to do with this, but you're bringing it up anyay? The subject of the nomination was not an archon: seems to me it could be straight up deleted without further ado. Avilich (talk) 21:52, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
