This article was formerly known as:

• Final dissolution of the Western Roman Empire.
• Odoacer's deposition of Romulus Augustulus.

There has been some talk on this article's DYK nomination about a merger. It may seem redundant to have similar fare on both this article and its related ones (Romulus Augustulus, Odoacer, etc.). However, I feel that this topic merits a separate Wikipedia page, as the end of Western Roman sovereignty was a major turning point in European history. In other words, I think the topic too well-sourced and well-known to be described on a series of (equally important, but) more biographical articles. DCI 2026 04:14, 1 August 2011 (UTC) reply

This article relies heavily on Gibbon and a few mid 20th Century sources. It could possibly do with updating to reflect current scholarship. Philafrenzy ( talk) 19:02, 15 May 2014 (UTC) reply

Why does this section matter? The capital had long moved to Ravenna. Kortoso ( talk) 20:08, 29 November 2016 (UTC) reply
