This genus seems listed on a few databases as accepted. Why is it being proposed for deletion? -- Nessie ( talk) 17:49, 29 May 2018 (UTC) reply

Which databases? The ones I see don't list it.and nothing on a search at google or google scholar.... Pvmoutside ( talk) 19:51, 29 May 2018 (UTC) reply

WoRMS, as linked in the taxonbar, and Catalog of Fishes ( search here). Plantdrew ( talk) 20:57, 29 May 2018 (UTC) reply

Highflyingfish reverted a deletion I made for the Labeoninae category being removed from the Vinagarra article.....his reasoning "Reverting: Other genera in Labeoninae are placed in that category. Please discuss your reasoning on the talk page and establish consensus rather than revert-fuding"......So I thought I was following proper format, and already following consenus...….as in other taxonomic articles, I thought the genus article itself is placed in the genus category only, after which the genus category then placed under the family category, rather than having 1 genus articles placed in the genus and/or family/subfamily article..For example, Vinagarra article is placed only in the Vinagarra category, then the Vinagarra category is placed in the Labeoninae category......

I had looked at a few other genera linked from the Labeoninae article, and saw they were in the Labeoninae category. Therefore I assumed this should also be in the Labeoninae category. On further inspection though, the other genera I looked at were all monotypic, and looking at the ones with multiple species, they aren't in the Labeoninae category, so I may have made a mistake. That said I will @ Micromesistius: since they also added the category back after it was initially removed. -- HighFlyingFish ( talk) 22:22, 30 May 2018 (UTC) reply

Taxon articles are placed in the lowest ranked category, and not in any parent categories. However, the category system for taxa is far from complete. If there a category for a genus, the article on that genus and any articles on species in the genus should be placed in the genus category. In many cases, there is no existing category for a genus; in that case, articles on the genus and its species can be placed in a subfamily (or family, suborder, etc.) category. However, it may be desirable to create a genus category when one doesn't already exist rather than using a subfamily category. There is no reason a genus should be in a subfamily category when it is a genus category that is itself a subcategory of a subfamily category. Plantdrew ( talk) 01:28, 31 May 2018 (UTC) reply
