Heraklonas
Instructions for nominators and reviewers
 * Nominator(s): 

I am nominating this article for A-Class review because I believe it meets, or else could meet, the A-Class standards, and it is part of my project to improve the articles of Roman and Byzantine Emperors. Iazyges  Consermonor   Opus meum  02:28, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I believe a reason why this article has not received any reviews is its tenuous relationship to military history in that Heraklonas seems to be more of a bystander or victim of the events described and did not reign independently. As a result, I would suggest that you could take the article to FAC and bypass ACR for these reasons. Kges1901 (talk) 23:34, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I think that you are largely correct, although I will note that another of my nominations, Leontios, is suffering a similar issue, despite being an independent ruler. That said, classical/medieval history noms usually get a lot less attention at A-class reviews, but do not seem to suffer such at FAC. At the moment I plan to keep this open for a while longer, and if reviews are not then forthcoming, try it at FAC. Iazyges   Consermonor   Opus meum  06:01, 26 May 2020 (UTC)


 * As a (former) classicist, I'm all for improving coverage but there's not enough here for this to be an A class article. I don't think its linked to him being a bystander or his reign ending when he was 15; I think you could write a lot more on the context, the cause of military weakness etc. Also, graphics are essential - we are writing for users, so maps etc are there to break up the blocks of text.

G'day, this one is likely to be archived shortly due to lack of reviews. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 05:39, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't know that more comments would help at this point, but I wanted to echo my comment from the ACR page for Leontios. The prose here is well-written, and I don't doubt that it's using most of the available material, but it's still very thin on information about the primary subject. Again, I don't think this reflects on the nominator, only on the subject material. Many topics just don't have the depth of coverage for GAN, let alone ACR or FAC.
