Talk:Oppian

Please split
I suggest the article be split.

The French, Italian and Spanish Wikipedias already have different articles for the two different writers; the Portuguese Wikipedia has two different articles (one of them not yet written), but the writers are confused with one another.

The task of maintaining inter-language links is not easy in such cases; one can dream of a coordinated international action to solve this case and similar ones. JmCor (talk) 05:58, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * That's all well and good but Oppian is the  name of Oppian of Corycus, who is by far the  even if some lesser works by another guy got mixed up with his reputation. The page should not be split: Oppy₂ should be split off and linked via hatnote dab. —  Llywelyn II   00:00, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Done. — Llywelyn II   00:51, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
