Very Very minor Roman God 412 Google hits very little for a Roman God almost of them non related or licened from here. Delete --JAranda | yeah 00:41, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep all figures from major mythologies. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:46, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Could there be a place to put this like List of minor Roman gods --JAranda | yeah 00:53, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Good idea, Listify minor roman gods. - Hahnchen 01:02, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I've corrected the capitalization in above list suggestion. "Minor" shouldn't have been capitalized and God is only capitalized when it refers to the highest power in a monotheistic religion. - Mgm|(talk) 09:02, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Listify, (or keep if there is demonstrable potential for significant expansion). -- BD2412 talk 01:22, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Same as BD2412 above Tintin 01:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Valid encyclopedia entry. Cnwb 05:24, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, probable hoax. There is no reference to any such god in Edith Hamilton's Mythology, and the word Vercvator isn't even a possible word of Latin. The handful of hits for Vercvactor as the Roman god of first ploughing on non-Wikipedia-mirror sites (as opposed to its use as a User name in various internet forums and the like) makes me suspect a hoax initiated outside Wikipedia and duplicated here in good faith. But a hoax nonetheless. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 06:38, 30 September 2005 (UTC)I figured it out: Vercvactor is just a typo. The real spelling is Vervactor, and he's already mentioned at Ceres. Redirect to Ceres. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 07:13, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]Keep, if not a hoax. It is mentioned on Pantheon.org. -- Kjkolb 06:44, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]- Comment: the article on Pantheon was apparently created in 1997. -- Kjkolb 06:47, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I've just sent them an e-mail asking for published verification of "Vercvactor"'s existence. I'll keep you posted.
- Comment: the article on Pantheon was apparently created in 1997. -- Kjkolb 06:47, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Ceres as per Angr. -- Kjkolb 08:17, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, why redirect to Ceres when it's a different god altogether? Also, Agree with List of minor Roman gods--Kewp 14:44, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Because AFAICT he's only ever mentioned as a helper of Ceres. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 15:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, move to correct spelling (obviously), hopefully expand, but if not eventually listify, if there are enough other Roman god substubs like this floating around. There's no point in such a list of there's only 1 or 2 gods in it. Also, keep in mind 426 hits for any minor thing from ancient Rome is the equvalent of 426,000 hits for anything sci-fi related today. -R. fiend 14:58, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and pertinent information and create a redirect at the correct spelling to Ceres. --Jacquelyn Marie 21:43, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to proper spelling and either keep or merge and redirect. -Sean Curtin 00:14, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
