Biography of a person notable only as the father of somebody else, single-sourced to a reference which is about his son. As always, notability is not inherited -- a person doesn't get a standalone article just for having his name mentioned in a biography of a more notable relative. But there's neither a standalone claim of notability in his own right, nor any sourcing that's about him in his own right, present here. Bearcat (talk) 21:34, 5 August 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: To also consider redirecting/merging to Nearchus and to give someone with access to more sources to assess whether notability can be established

 * Redirect to Nearchus, where he's mentioned.— S Marshall T/C 22:09, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect or Delete. From looking through the sources not much is known about him beyond him being probably an important aristocrat supporter who came from Crete originally - other than that it is all about the son - so we have the historical greek text + later speculation (also very limited) on what he might have been. There's nothing useful in this article to merge (it's all already in Nearchus anyway).Icewhiz (talk) 08:10, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect. No reason to keep a special article on him. ——Chalk19 (talk) 20:01, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
 * REdirect to Nearchus. I doubt we will ever get any content except as to his son.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:20, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
