Talk:Pholidotus africanus

Contested deletion
This redirect should not be speedy deleted as an implausible typo or misnomer, because... Pholidotus africanus is a name that appears in the scientific literature as far back as 1865. It is currently regarded a taxonomic synonym of Smutsia gigantea, the giant pangolin see for instance The Phylogeny of Living and Extinct Pangolins (Mammalia, Pholidota) and Associated Taxa: A Morphology Based Analysis. This redirect is thus perfectly warranted to help inform readers, especially those reading older literature. ----Animalparty-- (talk) 20:08, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
