Year of death for Adrian[edit]

The infobox shows Adrian's date of death as 306; however, looking at Chronological list of saints and blesseds: 4 and, more relevant, one of the references on this article (http://saints.sqpn.com/sainta43.htm), the value provided on each is 304. Is there some controversy or uncertainty over whether 304 or 306 is the actual year of death? Thanks for expert input. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:53, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Near/at the end of the "Martyrdom" section there is a big hole in continuity; in one paragraph he was taken prisoner and in the next paragraph his wife took his hands after he was burnt up. What happened between those two times? I can be contacted at LNass@alum.rpi.edu 24.115.66.190 (talk) 01:35, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative Name[edit]

In the "Feast day and patronage" section, Adrian seems to be referred to as "Hadrian." I am no expert on the man, so I don't know if that's an alternative name for him. If so, then that should be included in the first sentence of the summary section. Lee (talk) 02:07, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what language his name is based in, but if it were Greek, then Hadrian and Adrian would essentially be the same thing. -- Avanu (talk) 05:53, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
