Merge required

Is this the same person as Quintus Metellus Celer? If so, we could merge articles. If not, we seem to have some confusion about who was who and who did what. Haploidavey (talk) 17:31, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is indeed the same person. Quintus Metellus Celer thus should be merged into Quintus Caecilius Metellus Celer. The "Caecilius" is essential because that's his gens name. -- fdewaele, 10 April 2019, 11:15 CET.

Yes they should be merged. This user created 687 articles, 20 got deleted, and it could be worth going through that list. I found another duplicate of his here (of this article). T8612 (talk) 11:24, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bit of a bump, but let's go ahead. This article needs a lot of work, but merging the better parts of the other one into this one should be relatively easy. And this is the better title for it, between the two. P Aculeius (talk) 01:54, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 05:15, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
