Talk:Guaibasaurus

Classification of Guaibasaurus
Guaibasaurus is actually the most basal theropod, thereby being the ancestor of the Neotheropoda.

Its actually a basal sauropodomorph. Magnatyrannus (talk) 04:08, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree, it is a basal sauropodomorph based on the most recent papers. The only ones still recovering it as a basal theropod are the ones using old matrices and scores. The same occurs with Herrerasaurus, Eoraptor and so on. It seems that almost every basal dinosaur was initially thought to be a theropod, it's funny. --Maurissauro (talk) 04:59, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Merge proposal
Given that Saturnaliidae is now considered a separate family, and that no other taxa definitively belong to this clade, I'm making a merge proposal that involves Guaibasauridae being redirected to Guaibasaurus, due to it being possibly monotypic.

 * Agreed. Maurissauro (talk) 13:44, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * After 3 months with no opposing comments, I think it's safe to merge the articles. Joyous! | Talk 11:33, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * You can do the merging; I am currently on my phone, meaning that I can’t do it in one edit. --Magnatyrannus (talk &#124; contribs) 13:09, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually rethinking it, maybe it's better to just update the Guaibasauridae page and leave it separate for now. Since we are recovering Guaibasaurus next to Unaysaurus and Macrocollum, Unaysauridae could be synonym of Guaibasauridae, and therefore the latter would not be monotypic.
