– More common variant, per prominent sources such as [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] HistoryofIran (talk) 12:27, 17 April 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. SITH (talk) 11:33, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If it doesn't make much of a difference then why are you opposing? The 'Sinatruces' variant is simply the prevalent spelling amongst scholars nowadays - no offense, but there's not really much weigh in your "i haven't heard of it" argument. Even if there is a redirect, we still use the most common spelling per the rules. --HistoryofIran (talk) 13:55, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm opposed to needless hypercorrection. I'm pretty well-read, and I'm not convinced the "i" variant is prevalent. If you invite comment, you get comment. BPK (talk) 15:05, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
But it's not needless, also if numerous prominent sources aren't enough to convince you, then I dunno what is going to. Whatever floats your boat I guess. --HistoryofIran (talk) 15:15, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Its not even close. - LouisAragon (talk) 15:42, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Your position may well prevail. We've all registered our opinions. I explained mine when questioned. Not really interested in an endless discussion—or a pile-on. I'm content to await the consensus. So should you. BPK (talk) 17:13, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And you are very welcome to come with your opinion, I'm not criticizing you for it or trying to have a long discussion, it's just that it would be more understandable/easier if you were more thorough in your argument. --HistoryofIran (talk) 17:21, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That could also work, it's just that sources generally refer him as "Sinatruces" instead of "Sinatruces I". --HistoryofIran (talk) 12:38, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
