The list may seem to be redundant, consisted of convex polyhedron's classes in the following: we have five Platonic solids list, we have Archimedean solid and Catalan solid's list, and we have Johnson solids list. Dedhert.Jr (talk) 00:43, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Palaeotapirus (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

According to Cerdeño and Ginsburg in 1988, the name Palaeotapirus was invalidated by Depéret in 1904 because the fossils were more closely related to those of Chasmotherium (not a tapirid), and he replaced the genus name for "Tapirus" helveticus with Paratapirus. While this should sound like an easy redirect, the issue is that there seems to be one later-described species Palaeotapirus xiejiaheensis that may still be pending a reassessment. Also, on a side note, "Palaeotapirus yagii" was reclassified to the new genus Plesiotapirus. Whether or not the page should be kept, renamed, or redirected on the basis of one species pending a reassessment is worth discussing. PrimalMustelid (talk) 00:17, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
