Merge Mikadocephalus here?
I've already extensively covered the research history of Mikadocephalus within the article and gone over its problematic taxonomic status (see Besanosaurus). Even before Bindellini et al. (2021), Mikadocephalus was frequently treated as problematic, and at least one group of researchers since (Laboury et al. (2022)) have explicitly followed their conclusions. The Mikadocephalus article is pretty short and doesn't include anything not already covered in the Besanosaurus article, it could honestly probably just be redirected if the merge is successful. --Slate Weasel &#91;Talk - Contribs&#93; 23:31, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

 * I would agree, there is not enough evidence for the validity of Mikadocephalus and keeping that page might confuse people looking for information on Middle Triassic ichthyosaurs. I would suggest to make a note on the Besanosaurus page regarding taxonomy and junior synonyms. Full disclosure: I am biased as I am one of the authors in the Bindellini study.

figure attached to vertebrae and ribs
The figure attached to the header: "Vertebrae and ribs" clearly displays a specimen of Mixosaurus/Phalaradon. I am an author on an upcoming paper on Besanosaurus postcranium I suggest we change to a figure from that paper after publication. Feiko Miedema (talk) 09:28, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Ah, that would explain why it looked suspiciously like a mixosaurid... thanks for the heads up, I'll remove it from the article. I look forward to the upcoming paper! --Slate Weasel &#91;Talk - Contribs&#93; 16:29, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
