Staphylococci phage G1

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article is an incorrectly titled duplicate of another article (Staphylococcus virus G1) and is unlikely to be used as a redirect. By incorrect, I mean the plural "Staphylococci" is never used in virus species names. Velayinosu (talk) 03:15, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete maybe Speedy Delete?. It looks like this is effectively a duplicate of the correct article that gets some details wrong. Because of this it makes me wonder if this would be ground for speedy deletion. If not though, it's still an obvious superfluous article and can be deleted. -- Tautomers (T C) 05:09, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete under a10 Hyperwave11 (talk) 05:13, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - yes, this seems to be a definite A10 candidate. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:09, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:DELREASON: Content forks (unless a merger or redirect is appropriate). I don't know that this qualifies per WP:A10, since it was created in 2015 which is hardly "recent" (though I wouldn't mind applying it regardless per WP:IAR/WP:NOTBURO). I was at first confused because the two articles do not give the same Family (biology) or Genus (making me think maybe it wasn't a duplicate after all), but then I found this which makes it clear that this discrepancy is due to the article under discussion being several years out of date, taxonomy-wise. There is nothing to merge—all the information and all references on this page can already be found at the correctly titled article—and as noted above, this is not likely to be used as a redirect (and I'll note that the "correct" outdated title Staphylococcus phage G1 already redirects to Staphylococcus virus G1).
