Alienoptera → Alienopteridae – The order is considered a jr synonym of Blattaria, move to family name, as the primary topic of the article. Kevmin § 18:57, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I don't think that Wikipedia should rush to taxonomic conclusions, I don't think that one study represents a strong concensus on the phylogenetic position of Alienopteridae.I think this critique of Vršanský et al. (2018) while by a graduate student and therefore not citable, is interesting and worth reading. Alienoptera is also retained by Wipfer et al 2019, and other papers describe it as controversial. As an aside, Umenocoleidae is worth creating an article for. Hemiauchenia (talk) 19:32, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
- Given the taxonomic instability of Alienopteridae placement this article should be at the family level where there is taxonomic agreement. Superfamily and ordinal placement disagreement can be discussed in the prose.--Kevmin § 02:06, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
- Thats seems fine to me, feel free to go ahead and request the move. Hemiauchenia (talk) 14:39, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
