This article has an assessment summary page.
Good article Tiberius Julius Alexander has been listed as one of the History good articles under the good article criteria. If you can improve it further, please do. If it no longer meets these criteria, you can delist it, or ask for a reassessment.

Can anyone explain why we need an article on this person? Based on what is written here, his chief claim to fame is that he was a nephew of Philo, & some kind of relative to Herod Agrippa. Only one article links here, "List of Famous Romans". Frankly, as this article stands his father (who is described as a government official & "rich") is more worthy of an entry than he is.

Either we need more information in this stub, or it needs to be removed. -- llywrch 22:39, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Did this guy live in the 20th century, or around 1500 BC, or what?? Michael Hardy 22:23, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review.

I made one minor change: I removed the following sentence from the end of the article:

If so, it provides a paradoxical tribute to the unprecedented nature of his achievement.

because it constitutes commentary in its current form. Please feel free to add this back if suitably rewritten and sourced. All the best, EyeSereneTALK 18:09, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
