Should we reunite Pausanias (geographer) and Description of Greece?

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In April this year User:ColinSchm, who does not normally edit on classical subjects, took it upon himself to split off the book from the author without any discussion, using as edit summary "per Wikipedia:WikiProject_Missing_encyclopedic_articles/List_of_notable_books/3 based on Pausanias (geographer) + re-write, infobox, etc".

I rather think this was a mistake, as we know nothing about P except what he tells us in the book, which isn't much. What do people think about merging them back together? Both articles seem of pretty low quality to me. The biography gets 5-7 times more views btw. It would be great if someone who knows the area better than I do would improve them/it. Also the title(s) - "geographer" is a tad misleading, and Peter Levy's Guide to Greece might be better. I'll copy this to Talk:Pausanias (geographer)#Should_we_reunite_Pausanias_(geographer)_and_Description_of_Greece?; please comment there. Johnbod (talk) 04:17, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
