Speedy deletion of Archelaus II of Macedon and your subsequent removals in other articles

Hi Buster and please slow the hell down with the removals of that article from other pages.

Look, I know pretty much nothing about the subject matter itself, but what I do know that you are going to find yourself in a whole heap of strife if you continue on with your current editing.

Let's go back to your (malformed but whatevs) speedy deletion request.

I have found no evidence, either in primary or secondary sources, that this 'Archelaus II' ever existed.

He certainly was never king of Macedonia (see Blackwell's ' A Companion to Ancient Macedonia', Brill's 'Companion to Ancient Macedon Studies', or Brill's 'Chronologies of the Ancient World')

Think back to High School English classes. First principle: you write your audience - do they know what you are writing about? Next thing: are you "writing to inform", or are you "writing to persuade". Here you are "writing to persuade", but apparently without considering you audience beforehand.

I assume that "Blackwell's" refers to that publisher of scholarly books
I assume that "Brill's" refers to that publisher of scholarly books

(Yeah, I know that. But I'm not your target audience.)

Short version: please slow down, and cite references from reliable sources.
