At a glance, it appears that the articles which link to this redirect and to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adolph_Vorstius&redirect=no Adolph Vorstius] refer to the physician, not the theologian. However, I do not consider myself competent to do more than copy and paste a machine-translated version of the German page. Hopefully, someone who knows German, or who can do a better job of untangling the machine-translated syntax, will take a look at this.

Erroneous redirect?

I believe that this is not the same person as Conrad Vorstius. Here is Wikidata for Adolphus Vorstius and Wikidata for Conrad Vorstius. Note that they have different places of birth and death. Also the data page for Adolphus Vorstius links to Adolphus Vorstius at German Wikipedia. While I do not read German, Google Translate renders "Mediziner und Botaniker" as "physician and botanist", while Conrad Vorstius was a theologian. Also, the Wikidata and German Wikipedia article for Adolphus Vorstius says he was born in November of 1597, while the article for Conrad Vorstius says that he was born in July of 1569. Also see the disambiguation page for Vorstius at German Wikipedia.

At a glance, it appears that the articles which link to this redirect and to Adolph Vorstius refer to the physician, not the theologian. However, I do not consider myself competent to do more than copy and paste a machine-translated version of the German page. Hopefully, someone who knows German, or who can do a better job of untangling the machine-translated syntax, will take a look at this. 64.253.109.104 (talk) 14:21, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
