Tiberius Caesar (son of Germanicus)

Should really be a speedy, given that the entire text is "Caesar Tiberius" plus a stub template. But surely an article is possible here? If not, then a delete is the only option. Grutness|^hello? 08:11, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Maybe turn it into a redirect? Chyel 08:16, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete unless some actual context is put there. Better as a redlink. Kappa 09:57, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. From the Julio-Claudian family tree, it does not appear that Germanicus had a son named Tiberius. I suspect the author was think of plain ol' Tiberius. -- 8^D ^gab 15:06, 2005 Apr 11 (UTC)
• Delete Articles like this give a bad impression. Must be a valid Case 1 speedy, though? Chris talk back 17:19, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, factually incorrect. Megan1967 10:04, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, but not factually incorrect. Germanicus had two sons who died young, Tiberius and Gaius Julius. VfD usually deletes or redirects articles about children who died very young, however notable their parents. In this case a redirect is unneeded because no-one will look for this article. The article was probably written by someone filling in a redlink on a page like Drusus Caesar (before I removed the link). Gdr 20:17, 2005 Apr 12 (UTC)
• Weak delete for reasons listed by Gdr. I would support a redirect without the parenthesized part, since noone is likely to search for that whole string. I was going to say "Cæsar" (woo hoo, a chance to use the ligature feature!) is wrong since he was never emperor, but I am reminded that Cæsar was Germanicus' family name and only took the "emperor" meaning after Gaius Julius C. made it so.
