Roman usurper

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Basically an essay about roman usurpers... makes no assertion to why this is notable apart from the general articles of the persons discussed. ReformedArsenal (talk) 19:30, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTESSAY. Not a single citation. Could be total WP:OR. –  Richard  BB  20:05, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * KeepThe subject of the article is interesting and remember that one of the cause of the fall of the roman Empire was its political instability.The article can be improved bur deleted.User:Lucifero4
 * Keep and Improve: Topic is notable, e.g.,, article can be improved. It we deleted all the articles in the same state as this one, we'd probably delete 25% of wikipedia.--Milowent • hasspoken  14:44, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article needs to be cleaned up. The subject is notable, and a search for books shows that there are plenty of reliable secondary sources to use, like Edward Gibbon's The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.-- xanchester  (t)  17:05, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak keep -- There seems to be too much of the author's own view in the present article. The list article (which has been kept already) is good, but I would have preferred that as a table with the name of the reigning emperor rather less prominent.  Gibbon is certainly available, but it is a very old source now.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:35, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
