 * 1) I don't see the reason for other sources. Is there some part of the text that is not covered by the source provided?
 * 2) The article subject is notable, as per point 1 of the notability criteria for politicians
 * 3) As far as I know, these are all the informations known on the matter. It might be possible to expand it adding all the sources that cite this politician, but it is not a common practice in this field.
 * 4) the page is not an orphan, as it is linked in the list of all consuls.


 * One single source is probably too few for an encyclopedia entry. It would help to add more supporting references, just as you need more than one witness at court in most cases. I agree he meets the notability as a consul, so that tag should go. I added the orphan tag so that other articles containing this entry can be linked. I just checked and saw that there are no other articles containing the title of this article, so unfortunately it is still an orphan. Let's hope that someone will adopt this orphan soon.

 * More references are always good, but I don't see the reason way they should be needed in this case. The Prosopography is a good source.
 * It is not an orphan, as there is an article that links here, plus a disambiguation.
 * You forgot to explain the expansion tag.
 * I notice you added the "stub" tag; as far as I know, this is all the knowledge available on the matter, so I do not see a reason to add the stub tag. --TakenakaN (talk) 02:51, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
