Argument for merge
[edit]This person is a doublet of Lucius Aurelius Commodus Pompeianus; in his translation of the Historia Augusta, he identifies the Pompeianus mentioned there with L. Aurelius Commodus Pompeianus. There was a historical (Tiberius ?) Claudius Pompeianus Quintianus: Paul Leunissen identifies him as one of the Senators who was executed during the first attempted assassination of Commodus, citing HA. "Commodus" 4.2-4; Dio 72.4.4-5; & Herodian 1.8.4-5. There is another mentioned in an article by H.G. Pflaum ("Les gendres de Marc-Aurèle", Journal des savants, 1961, pp. 28-41"], but he appears to be the consul ordinary of 235. Considering some of the usernames attached to this article, I'm not surprised this is a confused article. So either this article is merged, or it should be deleted so an article about the real senator (who is somehow related to Marcus Aurelius) can be written. -- llywrch (talk) 07:11, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
- Procedurally, can I suggest:
- moving the current Pompeianus article to Tiberius Claudius Pompeianus Quintianus, then
- fixing Tiberius Claudius Pompeianus Quintianus once moved.
- redirecting Pompeianus to Pompeianus (disambiguation), on the grounds that there is no clear primary topic.
