Talk:Erysipelotrichidae

Not a family name
This should not be a redirect to a family. -idae is not a family ending in Bacteria. This is the name of a supraordinal clade. This page should either be deleted or else written as an article about the proposed subclass containing Class Mollicutes and Order Erysipelotrichales. 2601:441:5000:13E0:488D:7238:6783:9114 (talk) 01:13, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The help pages for proposing deletion are a jumble of unexplained acronyms, so I changed the redirect instead. Now it redirects back to List_of_bacterial_orders (containing the Erysipelotrichidae link). It looks like it's a proposed subclass of a proposed Class Bacillia, in Phylum Bacillota. In List of Bacterial Orders, the name is followed by "corrig. Cavalier-Smith 2020" and I don't know what corrig. means. I think I've seen that name elsewhere, though, as someone whose prokaryote phylogenies generally aren't widely supported by other bacteriologists. I'm not sure on that.
 * Bacteria use the scientific names for plants and names ending in -idae are subclasses and the like, not families, so redirecting to a family is not appropriate. A clade this big contains dozens or hundreds of families and singling out just one is misleading.2601:441:5000:13E0:488D:7238:6783:9114 (talk) 01:43, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
