The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Keep. Instead of adding another keep !vote I'm just going to close this. Subject clearly meets WP:POLITICIAN as a head of state, and WP:SOLDIER as a military leader. Not to mention the historical value of the article. Non-admin closure. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 18:15, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notability not established, and only one non-verifiable source Uberaccount (talk) 03:28, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notably not established? This is clearly a trigger happy deletion proposal. Consul of Rome, Defeated the Volsci, Earned a Triumph. Thats more than can be said about some of the Roman consuls on wiki. Note that most of Rome's early republican records dating prior to 390 BC have been lost due to the Sacking of the city by the Gauls. That being said, there is ample documentation mentioning Titus Sicinius as having been "notable" though merely holding this office would likely qualify, assuming his achievements were a non issue.-Clark Sui (talk) 04:08, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, clearly notable. Ruigeroeland (talk) 07:46, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep notability is established, quite clearly, also, I don't see what the issue is with there being only one non-verifiable source? Surely that's a good thing? Seems to be a very notable Roman leader. Also, I removed that 3O tag thing, not sure what on earth it was doing here (if a 3O is needed, here it is anyway...)

Keep. I generally operate on the rule of thumb that people who lived before the printing press were notable if their names got written down in connection with something important. People who flourished in the 480s BCE are pretty much automatically notable if we know their names. Ancient sources are what they are. Roman consuls are pretty much canonical examples of the sort of people you'd expect to have an entry under their own name in an encyclopedia. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:00, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and speedy, and a {{trout}} for the nominator as notability is rather definitively established. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 16:08, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Being a Roman consul, as one of the top 2 positions in the Roman Republic, meets WP:POLITICIAN. Unless there are concerns that he doesn't exist, an obvious keep. --Colapeninsula (talk) 17:03, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
