• Keep - One of a series of notable Romans being nominated for deletion by this edtor. See my comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gessius Florus. Undoubtedly notable. Treated in many books (e.g. [1]). Scholar has nearly 2000 articles to sort through, many/most being relevant. This should be a snow keep. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 14:01, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  A lot of articles have been deleted that I might consider 'undoubtably' notable, (Tristan Tate). Yet if they don't pass WP:GNG they should be deleted. Serrwinner (talk) 14:20, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Keep, pointless nom, no WP:BEFORE attempt, and regarding the "Almost no sources" rationale, the article is mostly based on the "Coponius" entry in The Jewish Encyclopedia and on A History of the Jewish People, Harvard University Press, two sources that speak volumes about Coponius' notability. The only excuse for the nominator is that they are a fairly new account with about 300 edits, otherwise I would consider them to be openly disruptive. --Cavarrone 19:45, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Keep Improper nomination. TulsaPoliticsFan (talk) 22:32, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Clearly notable as governor of Judaea, and one about whom at least some detail is known, making it less practical to merge him into an article about other governors. P Aculeius (talk) 23:41, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Clearly notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:35, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per User talk:Serrwinner #Roman AfDs, this is a pointy nomination of a clearly notable subject. FortunateSons (talk) 14:06, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
