Julia Drusilla[edit]

Only daughter of Caligula and Caesonia who was killed at the age of two, not long enough to be notable on her own account. Something could be merged to her parents' articles. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:00, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw nomination per Roman mob persecution. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:14, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep seems large enough to be its own article, and it would be lost in the larger article on her father. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 01:20, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep. The bit about her violent tendencies is noteworthy, but would be cumbersome and irrelevant in her father's article. Hazillow (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 01:25, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Sufficient for an article, I feel. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 03:25, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep theer are so few known named individuals from the time that the fact that the name was recorded is some evidence of significance. Clearly, attested in WP:RS. JJL (talk) 03:55, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Anyone attested to in multiple sources that survived almost 2000 that deal with more than just pure lineage is notable. That's long notice. Would be nice if more than Seutonius were cited, though at least he's not being used as if he's completely reliable. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:51, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above - a historical vignette of Caligula's family that isn't really directly related to his career. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:54, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I see the nominator's point, and I sort of agree with it, except that allusions to each member of the Julio-Claudians, even the dead babies, are common enough in the wide expanse of history and literature that we could well have searches for this particular name. No real need to redirect, either, because the reference would be pretty far down in the article. Utgard Loki (talk) 18:14, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I support keeping content on what some people think unimportant subjects, but that does not mean we should remove the content on the traditional materials of encyclopedic interest--we should rather be increasing it. Every person such as this from classical antiquity has been the subject of significant scholarly discussion. anyway, wouldn't the murder of a member of a ruling house in modern times get some encyclopedic attention? Not quite your ordinary child abuse, really. DGG (talk) 20:00, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Accomplishments nil, but sufficient treatment of her death by historians to make the cut. We could always change it to Murder of Julia Drusilla .... nah. --Dhartung | Talk 06:37, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
