nero / Latin

Seems to be a misspelling of Nero. -84.161.56.85 19:37, 9 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

In which language do you think it is a misspelling? In Finnish it isn't [1]. --Hekaheka (talk) 10:15, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
I checked the edit log. The anon contributor has tagged the Latin section. --Hekaheka (talk) 10:18, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
I don't think it's considered correct to spell agnomina (which are after all proper nouns..!) with a lowercase initial letter. So this almost definitely should be deleted, and since this has been here for nearly a year anyway I think this may already count as RFV failed?Mnemosientje (t · c) 03:01, 24 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Well, it could be a valid un-normalised Middle Latin spelling. The Mediaeval Germanic Hildebrandslied (File:Hildebrandslied1.jpg) for example spells proper nouns with a regular lower case letter as hiltibrant (sometimes looking like hiltibraht) and hadubrant. But if it is Mediaeval, than there should be a label and maybe a usage note. -84.161.52.159 07:41, 24 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
I've now removed it as it's long enough unattested (more than a year!) and was probably created as wrong form of Nero. -84.161.1.61 22:59, 3 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
