Merge proposal 20 May 2024
[edit]Proposing that the article for Carcharomodus be merged into Carcharomodus escheri per WP:OVERLAP. The genus is monotypic, C. escheri is the only species in it, and the former article is only one sentence long.

- Support This article is an artifact of my newbie days to editing. The genus is unlikely to be valid anymore anyways. Macrophyseter | talk 00:59, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- Support a merge, but it should go the other way from what is proposed. Species of monotypic genera are to be treated at the genus title per WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA. Plantdrew (talk) 21:45, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- It's more likely that the species will be permanently moved to either Isurus subserratus or Carcharodon subserratus, depending on how the argument by this paper[1] is received by shark authorities. Species name changed due to priority rule. Carcharomodus was doubted since at least 2018, but there's not much publications on the species to get a confident consensus IMO. Fossil shark taxonomy is really messy. Macrophyseter | talk 06:16, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
Works for me. @Plantdrew I'm fine with moving this page's contents to Carcharomodus for now if that's the policy. @Macrophyseter We can always come back to this in a couple of years once De Schutter's paper has had time to settle. I'll put a reminder on my calendar for May 26th 2026; betting now this will probably end up as Isurus subserratus. — Kodiak Blackjack (talk) • (contribs) 13:14, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
