[edit] Ancient romes population

As the author states on the talk page, this is pure speculation about figures. It is therefore obviously original research, but proposed deletion would be contested, so here we are. Harro5 01:32, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. OR, reads like the conclusion of a school project. Deizio 01:49, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. --DMG413 03:41, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as it is a misspelling of Ancient Rome's Population anyway. Bobby1011 04:12, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but rename Ancient Roman Demography or sim. This question has been dealt with by academics such as Beloch, Brunt, and Hopkins and is therefore potentially both notable and un-original. (The current article is obviously sub-standard, but that doesn't mean that the topic itself is not worth having.) Bucketsofg 04:40, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

• Anything relevant to the topic should be in the Society section of the Ancient Rome entry. Harro5 06:00, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, but if we could get the author to give a direct cite for that bit about..."the city we know from census taken at the time of the empire had within its walls 9 thousand baths the diameter of the cities was 11 miles since Strabo tells us that the actual limit of Rome was at a place between the fifth and sixth milestone from the column of Trajan in the Forum 384 streets 80 golden statues 50,000 houses (apartment blocks) 17,097 palaces of exceptional size 31 theaters 11 amphitheatres 2,091 prisons and was probably as populace and even more wealthy then modern Rome"...there could be some interesting info to add to the aforementioned Society section of the Ancient Rome article.
