I'll be reviewing this nomination. I should have some thoughts for you shortly. Cheers, Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 23:13, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
Regrettably, I'm obligated to fail this GAN. There are just too many issues with the sourcing for me to be able to sign off on it. Nonetheless, I hope my comments are of use to you if you continue to develop this article. They are, of course, based off of the GA criteria, which may be consulted at WP:GACR.
Camillus and Valerius succeeded with pushing back the Gauls- Broughton says this only of Camillus, and inferring that Valerius did the same would seem to be OR, 2.
Valerius final appearance in our sources is in 387- I don't see anyone saying that, so it appears to be little more than an inference, and 3.
one of the early Republics most distinguished, and to some degree mysteriously unknown, figures disappear from our records- This is uncited altogether, and it seems to be the author's opinion more than the opinion of any scholar.
This is a pretty long list, and I imagine it would take a good deal of work to resolve all these issues. This is a difficult topic, and bringing it to GA status is no easy task. Working on an easier topic – that is, one about which there is more certainty in the scholarly community – might be more prudent. I hope these comments are helpful and not discouraging, and I wish you the best of luck in your future editing endeavors. Cheers! Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 01:11, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
