Talk:Eorhincodon

Merger
The holotype tooth of Eorhincodon is considered to be a parasymphyseal tooth of Rhizoprionodon by Cappetta (2012). These two pages should be merged since they are considered synonyms. Carnoferox (talk) 15:56, 9 October 2021 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks. First of all, if we merge, we need to transfer all information to the other article. What you did was, instead, essentially a deletion. And this one seems to be a complicated case, as the same name was used for different things. People searching for this name are maybe more likely to look for Pseudomegachasma instead. Also, Rhizoprionodon is a modern genus, and incorporating this info on an invalid fossil might be excessive info for that article. Maybe keeping this article (without taxonbox since it is invalid) might be the better option? The case is not clear to me in any case; if you want to merge, best follow the steps outlined in Merging (place the templates to let other people know and get some discussion) beforehand. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 16:25, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I see no point in keeping this article separate, it is a stub with barely any information. I think it is best to merge with Rhizoprionodon and keep Eorhincodon in the synonym list.Carnoferox (talk) 16:48, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
 * As said, we can't just delete the information. Then please follow Merging and wait for consensus. Thanks. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 17:11, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
 * In the mean time, I will add a disclaimer about the synonymy to this page. Carnoferox (talk) 17:18, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
