Articles for deletion This article was nominated for deletion on September 1, 2006. The result of the discussion was keep.


This article, cut from Christianization, has not been provided with the usual first line with bolded phrase, nor is there any reference to its context in the opening. An innocent oversight I'm sure. The very subject has been proposed for deletion. Wikipedians who think this is unusual might vote to Keep or Delete. --Wetman 08:11, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Saint Sebastian and Apollo

I cannot find anything else on the web to link Apollo and Saint Sebastian. Furthermore, the bases given for linking them are fallacious. Apollo used poisoned arrows while Sebastian was killed with poisoned arrows. I cannot find any other web source which indicates that Sebastian's death had anything to do with rejecting homosexual advances from Diocletian. On the contrary, sources consistently indicate that it was only in the Renaissance that Sebastian came to be implicitly linked with homosexuality, and only explicitly in the 19th century.

I am deleting this paragraph. If a user wishes to repost the Sebastian/Apollo content, please provide a more substantial link or a citation of a source.
