Bato of Dalmatia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Deproded by two people who weren't sure. Well, the two people at: seem sure: it's based on a misinterpreted source. This information has lingered on the first talk page since 2009-05-07 and on the second talk page since 2011-01-31. I should also add that it's possible that by "Dalmatian" one could have referred to the Roman province of Dalmatia, which would be anachronistic (the Illyrian Wars started around 200 BC but the province was called Illyricum initially).

 * : Keep  Although this article almost certainly does not meet the quality standards, a search of Bato turns up his presence in a few campaigns including one in Pannonia wherein he was involved. Given the period this character existed in and ancient sources being ancient, keep.|Bato - Clark Sui (talk) 08:59, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I think that I need to clarify something here, something that I initially missed, too, because it isn't absolutely explicit in the talk page links or the nomination. This Bato of Dalmatia is Bato of Dardania, but a single source was incorrectly interpreted, so we have this two sentence article under a poor headword (though people do still call him Bato of Dalmatia occasionally). Hence my proposed option to redirect.  davidiad { t } 11:41, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Clark, do you disagree that this is indeed the same person? --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 11:31, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
