Regardless of the notability of the subject, there just isn't enough definite information known about the wife of Gordian I to justify a separate article. Her name is disputed (consensus is that it most likely is not "Fabia Orestilla", but otherwise nothing can be said). Starting with T.D. Barnes, some experts think she was the granddaughter of Herodes Atticus -- or the granddaughter might be her mother-in-law. And that is the whole of it, not enough to definitely say who she was. I think the material is better merged in Gordian I where it can be maintained & found. llywrch (talk) 02:51, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge as the nomination suggests. (Delete per nom makes no sense). Thincat (talk) 10:33, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. I trust Llywrch's judgment, and don't see anything here that couldn't go under Gordian I, except for a confusing double negative. That said, remember that it's entirely possible for Roman men and women during this period to bear nomina inherited from their mothers and grandmothers, or nomina that their fathers technically bore, but which weren't used for one reason or other. So a mismatch between the names of the putative wife and father-in-law is merely suggestive, but not all that probative. P Aculeius (talk) 11:56, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. This article is not going to get better, and it would be well to preserve the information in it somewhere. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:24, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
