Talk:In Toga Candida

Requested merge
In Toga Candida → Cicero – The speech does not appear to be notable enough have an article for itself and would therefore seems more suitable to be merged to the author’s page. Tanbircdq (talk) 20:33, 10 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose. First, I think you've chosen the wrong template: you seem to be proposing a merge. Second, if it were merged, the appropriate article would be Writings of Marcus Tullius Cicero, not his biography. Third, even a fragmentary speech by Cicero will have sufficient scholarship to support its notability and to create a well-developed article. This one just happens to be a stub not marked as such, but I'll add the stub template. Cynwolfe (talk) 12:52, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose per above. ♦ Tentinator ♦  13:02, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose move, merger or deletion per Cynwolfe. This is a stub in need of some lovin'. A major fragmentary speech of Cicero's will meet items 1 and 6 in the criteria at WP:BKCRIT.  davidiad { t } 22:08, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose AfD/Merge/Move - per Cynwolfe, Tentinator and Davidiad. Would easily survive AfD (see added 2 sentences and 3 new sources). And Cicero article is bulky enough already. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:33, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * This is a merge request, not a move request. Rephrasing and reformatting to reflect this.  —  AjaxSmack   00:06, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Not sure this needs to be clarified, but all the opposes above still hold for a merge. Cynwolfe (talk) 16:14, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

"Specially whitened .. togas"
My impression was tht candidates wore (special?) white togas - so marks of rank, status, wealth etc were excluded and would not influence voting. That is, the togas weren’t specially made white: they were white in the first place. Can anyone advise? (and/or amend the article?) – SquisherDa (talk) 14:32, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
