Talk:Athenaeus (officer)

Does this need to be its own article?
If it was a living person, WP:BLP1E would apply even if the coverage were there, and as it's not a living person, the coverage isn't really there. I'd suggest a redirect to Antigonid–Nabataean confrontations. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 21:18, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * If we can find enough content on him, why not? Makeandtoss (talk) 21:27, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * That "if" is exactly why I'm writing this. What have you found about him other than this one incident? –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 21:29, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * "Played an important role in a significant military event" and "Commanded a substantial body of troops in combat" WP:SOLDIER. I initially didn't try to look, but the number of "Athenaeus" that pop up during google search is overwhelming. With my knowledge of Greek history, I can't tell if the sources are talking about the same Athenaeus.. Makeandtoss (talk) 21:35, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * That's not a policy page, and no, the hits for "Athenaeus" are mostly not this guy, that's why you needed to create the page with a disambig in the title! –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 22:06, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I know the hits are not mostly of this guy, when I google for example; Athenaeus and Antigonus/Athenaeus and the Nabataeans. Most of these sources are about Greek history, and the same source might not have the same Athenaeus. Makeandtoss (talk) 22:09, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 19:25, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Lol after rereading what I wrote, I have no idea either.. Makeandtoss (talk) 23:41, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 * So how about that redirect? –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 00:44, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

in our earlier discussion you seemed to agree that there is not enough material on this person to justify an article. Can you explain why you've changed your mind? –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 15:03, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
