- Result: Clear consensus to delist. Issues include uncited material and overreliance on primary sources. There are also concerns about OR and coverage, and I see further issues with the popular culture section. UndercoverClassicist T·C 12:36, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
Uncited statements, especially in the sections "Popular culture" and "Marriages and issue". Z1720 (talk) 19:00, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
- I fixed the missing citations on Marriages and issue. I would be more concerned about the overreliance on primary sources. We have biographies of this man; but instead the text is doing wildly inappropriate WP:OR with things like Had he died before AD 23, he might have been hailed as an exemplary ruler and citing this to Tacitus' discussion starting
It is however, I think, a convenient opportunity for me to review [how that year] brought with it the beginning of a change for the worse in Tiberius's policy
. Either way, delist. Ifly6 (talk) 23:26, 19 May 2025 (UTC) - I've put up a notice for some of the issues I identified in this edit. Ifly6 (talk) 20:49, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delist numerous paragraphs do not cite any modern secondary sources, paragraphs that cite one are the exception. Psychastes (talk) 19:07, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
- Looking briefly at the Germanicus section, I see selective adoption of the narrative of primary sources with a touch of I, Claudius, with a secondary source cited at one point. There's no mention of his insubordination towards our subject, in command in Germany (with consequent disasters), in resisting recall, and in touring Egypt - contrast, say, the OCD on Germanicus.
