- Article about a minor character in the film Gladiator, which supplies no significant information beyond that supplied in the main film article's plot section, and is padded out with historical information about the character's position in the Roman government, which isn't particularly relevant to an article about a fictional character. The topic is not notable enough for a seperate article. SGGH speak! 22:15, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- If/then - if character is purely fictional, then delete. If character is based on real person (research needed), then rewrite. Guroadrunner 22:18, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Google hits turn up nothing unrelated to the film aside from references to Roman individuals with Quintus as a first name, mainly one "Quintus Fabius Maximus" who is also the only one mentioned when using google book search. SGGH speak! 22:21, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Looking for a Roman called "General Quintus" is like looking for a modern American military officer called "Centurion Fred". They didn't have generals per se back then, and Quintus was one of the most common men's names. --Charlene 01:56, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- There you go then, unlikely to be based on a historical character. SGGH speak! 09:21, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
