Keep What is "not really encyclopedic" about one of the more significant Amarna Letters authors, who in the 1300s BC was the ruler of Tyre and vassal to the Egyptian pharaoh? This topic is exactly what encyclopedias should be made of. I have never seen such an argument for deletion, and can't believe you seriously nominated it.
