Anchimolius

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Spartan who is marginally famous for being mentioned by Herodotus, but did not do much of significance and has no real lasting notability other than other historians repeating what Herodotus wrote. The single source of information that itself does not confer notability does not pass Anchimolius passed WP:ANYBIO or WP:BASIC.

 * Comment -- This is a stub, which is probably incapable of expansion, because all we have is a brief mention of him in Herodotus. Rather than delete this, it would be better if it could be merged or redirected to an article about the battle in which he died.  Nevertheless the article is inadequate, because it fails to give a date for the campaign in which he died, which commentators on Herodotus must have deduced.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete. No coverage except a few sentences in Herodotus, and I don't see any suitable merge targets. I don't think even the battle is notable enough for a standalone article, although it could possibly be mentioned at Phalerum. Dan from A.P. (talk) 15:22, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete for lack of WP:SIGCOV. I'll likely change my !vote to merge instead if someone can produce a suitable target. -Ljleppan (talk) 14:38, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete A brief mention in Herodotus isn't enough to meet WP:GNG. Avilich (talk) 14:54, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
