Searching for "philemon" showed the apostle Philemon as two unrelated-looking results, and neither he, Archippus nor Apphia had a saint page of their own.

Cause: the family from Colossae (Philemon, his wife Apphia, their son Archippus, and their slave Onesimus) was stored as three group saint records, one per occasion. That's the same pattern #183 fixed for Cyril and Methodius.

Occasion Before After
Feb 19 Group record "Archippus and Philemon" Archippus, Philemon, Apphia
Nov 22 Group record "Philemon, Archippus, Apphia" Philemon, Archippus, Apphia, Onesimus
Jul 6 (Greek) Group record plus Onesimus Archippus, Philemon, Onesimus
  • Added individual records for Philemon, Archippus and Apphia. Onesimus already had one.
  • Deleted the three group records.
  • The day titles and stories are unchanged.
  • Greek Nov 22 showed Onesimus twice. The shared commemoration already names him, and a Greek-only "Onesimos the Disciple of Paul" entry repeated him. antiochian.org lists him once on that day, so I removed the extra entry.

Left alone: the Greek Feb 15 "Onesimos, Patriarch of Constantinople". antiochian.org lists it as a separate entry from Onesimus the Apostle on the same day.

Checked locally:

  • All four saint pages load, and each lists every one of its occasions.
  • Day listings are unchanged in both traditions, apart from the removed duplicate.
  • Searching "philemon" now links each result to the individual saints.
  • Tests pass, except the cache test that only fails locally.

The old group slugs (apostles-archippus-and-philemon-of-the-seventy-and-martyr-apphia-2-19, holy-apostle-philemon-and-sts-apphia-archippus-and-onesimus-11-22, holy-apostles-archippus-philemon-and-onesimus-7-6, onesimos-the-disciple-of-paul-11-22) will return 404, as the merged saints' slugs did in #183.

The Colossae family -- Philemon, his wife Apphia, their son Archippus and
their slave Onesimus -- was spread across three synthetic group Saint rows,
one per occasion (Feb 19, Nov 22, and the Greek Jul 6), so none of them had
a page of their own and searching for Philemon turned up what looked like
duplicates. Same pattern #183 fixed for Cyril and Methodius.

Added solo Saint rows for Philemon, Archippus and Apphia, linked each
occasion to the people it names (Onesimus already had his own row), and
deleted the three group rows. The occasion titles and stories are unchanged.

Also removed the Greek-only Nov 22 "Onesimos the Disciple of Paul", which
showed Onesimus a second time beside the shared commemoration that already
names him (antiochian.org lists him once, with Philemon, Archippus and
Apphia).
