There's exactly one Google hit on this saint. I would think there would be more than one for anyone canonized by the Catholic Church. - Dank (push to talk) 20:10, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or redirect to Fausta of SirmiumComment--Searching "Evilasius" without the "St." yielded more than 600 Google hits. The reason seems to be that he is paired up with Fausta of Sirmium, the girl he is said to have tortured, rather than discussed separately. Here is a particularly graphic telling of the tale. He does seem to be a legitimate Catholic Saint and thus (I assume) prima facie notable. I haven't had a chance to read through if there is There is perhaps enough to justify a separate article for Evilasius, but if not, I'd prefer redirecting it to the existing stub Fausta of Sirmium, which already mentions him, and which could be expanded as well.--Arxiloxos (talk) 20:30, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or redirect to Fausta of Sirmium. There are actually about 678 google hits for the name as per here. However, he does seem to be tied to Saint Fausta, so for the purposes of having articles of reasonable length, it probably makes sense to have them both covered in the same article.

  • Delete both subjects are notable, but not independently of each other. i don't see how the two articles could ever differ in actual content. Thus I would say merge, except this is a very implausible search term. I have created Saint Evilasius and Evilasius as redirects to Fausta of Sirmium. If this closes as keep those will need to be re-pointed--ThaddeusB (talk) 21:26, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have redirected Fausta of Sirmium to Anastasia of Sirmium, as her only claim to notability is that she is the traditional mother of Anastasia. --ThaddeusB (talk) 23:47, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect To Saint Fausta, as his notability is tied solely to hers. More detail on Evalasius can be found here: [3]. For the record, he is an Orthodox saint, not a Roman Catholic saint. Pastor Theo (talk) 02:29, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I would be interested in knowing where the details of the story originate from - obviously it makes a big difference if the details weren't added to centuries later. Either way, they can be included in the Saint Fausta article, but I need know where they come from to properly write the article. If anyone finds anything let me know. --ThaddeusB (talk) 02:48, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. At the very least seems to be a Saint in the Orthodox Church, probably Catholic as well.Tyrenon (talk) 09:49, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as Saint Evilasius Every recognized saint found in classic sources is notable. We do not have to decide between the degree to which this is legend or fact-- Bede is reliable for what was believed in the early middle ages. That the deaths are linked is irrelevant.
