Result: Delisted. Hog Farm _talk 02:40, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wildly out of date in terms of scholarship. Essentially wrong about the organisation of curiae, the nature of the lex curiata, age of the centuriate assembly, nature of the centuries (strange anachronisms like "means test"), nature of Sulla's reforms to the centuries. Anachronistically thinks the thirty-five tribes existed throughout the republic.

Heavily reliant on Abbott 1901 (incorrectly cited, contrary to modern policy, to a 1960s reprint) which is not a reliable source due to the number of discredited claims it presents uncritically. Writing fails to comply with modern style standards (strange italics and capitalisation everywhere). Fails to cover 20th century research on the topic entirely.

Delist. The article dates from the early years of Wikipedia (2008). User Romanhistorian made a lot of contributions at the time using Abbott, but it's now not considered a reliable source. T8612 (talk) 12:41, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delist per above. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 14:37, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
