Deletion request
This genus seems listed on a few databases as accepted. Why is it being proposed for deletion? --Nessie (talk) 17:49, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Which databases? The ones I see don't list it.and nothing on a search at google or google scholar....Pvmoutside (talk) 19:51, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
 * WoRMS, as linked in the taxonbar, and Catalog of Fishes (search here). Plantdrew (talk) 20:57, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Removal of Labeoninae Category in Vingarra
Highflyingfish reverted a deletion I made for the Labeoninae category being removed from the Vinagarra article.....his reasoning "Reverting: Other genera in Labeoninae are placed in that category. Please discuss your reasoning on the talk page and establish consensus rather than revert-fuding"......So I thought I was following proper format, and already following consenus...….as in other taxonomic articles, I thought the genus article itself is placed in the genus category only, after which the genus category then placed under the family category, rather than having 1 genus articles placed in the genus and/or family/subfamily article..For example, Vinagarra article is placed only in the Vinagarra category, then the Vinagarra category is placed in the Labeoninae category......Pvmoutside (talk) 19:26, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I had looked at a few other genera linked from the Labeoninae article, and saw they were in the Labeoninae category. Therefore I assumed this should also be in the Labeoninae category. On further inspection though, the other genera I looked at were all monotypic, and looking at the ones with multiple species, they aren't in the Labeoninae category, so I may have made a mistake. That said I will  since they also added the category back after it was initially removed. --HighFlyingFish (talk) 22:22, 30 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Taxon articles are placed in the lowest ranked category, and not in any parent categories. However, the category system for taxa is far from complete. If there a category for a genus, the article on that genus and any articles on species in the genus should be placed in the genus category. In many cases, there is no existing category for a genus; in that case, articles on the genus and its species can be placed in a subfamily (or family, suborder, etc.) category. However, it may be desirable to create a genus category when one doesn't already exist rather than using a subfamily category. There is no reason a genus should be in a subfamily category when it is a genus category that is itself a subcategory of a subfamily category. Plantdrew (talk) 01:28, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
