Comment: Notability is not inherited, and not demonstrated in this submission. As the article stands in its current form, it is a one sentence descriptor and then a list of redlinks. microbiologyMarcus (petri dish•growths) 20:22, 7 November 2023 (UTC)- Comment: This article relies too much on a single website. It should also be expanded. – Kilaseell - Message me! - 18:53, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
