Per WP:SALAT, and per the result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of extinct plants. This is just too broad a topic to ever be a useful list. This has previously been discussed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Palaeontology#List_of_genera_from_the_Cambrian_Period. The article's creator has ignored requests to discuss the article. The article creator moved the article back into mainspace pretty much unaltered after an admin moved it into draftspace. Hemiauchenia (talk) 20:29, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per precedent. This list has zero guarantee of completeness, accuracy, or practical utility. Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 22:29, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have blocked the article's creator for 24 hours for disruptive editing. After that period, the user can comment here on why the article should be retained. I take no position on the article's suitability for inclusion, but have noted the user repeatedly moving the article out of draft space. Firsfron of Ronchester 00:38, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It is impossible to cover all Cambrian genera. Moreover, the author does not try to solve the many problems that exist in the page at all, and tries to start the list of another period as it is. We should stop it before it happens. (Note: talk page can he found here, looks like that is not moved.) Ta-tea-two-te-to (talk) 03:01, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Too large, hardly curatable, little utility. If deleted, there will also be some cleanup (i.e. draft deletion) required for Draft:List of genera from the Cambrian Period and List of genera from the cambrian and possibly some other connected draft debris - there's a bit of a tangle there currently following the author trying to create/rename them into the perfectly ludicrous List of genera from the Phanerozoic (that would be at least 240k entries...) --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 10:09, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am truly sorry for all the problems I have caused. I just wanted to let people know about most of the animal and plant species discovered in paleontology. I'm an avid paleontologist, I was just tired of finding no list of genera that were discovered during the phanerozoic era. I wanted to do it right. I'm really sorry to have caused you so much trouble. I promise from now on I won't change the name of the pages I create anymore. I'm really sorry!

And of course, I don't want to put all the genres that have been discovered. I promise not to do it again. I have learned from my mistakes. Bestaoui.Mohammed (talk) 11:45, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
