Kim, whether we will want to redirect all the different taxonomic units to this article depends on this question: is everything that we might possibly want to say, for example, about classes, families, and so forth going to be ''exhausted'' in the article about taxons? I don't know, although I have to say I would be surprised. When it comes to encyclopedia article topics, I'm a splitter, not a lumper. That is because having information specifically, explicitly, about a topic that someone searches for is more useful to that person than an article that ''includes'' information about that topic, but which is actually about a broader (or otherwise closely related) topic. --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 12:11, 11 October 2007 (CDT) | Kim, whether we will want to redirect all the different taxonomic units to this article depends on this question: is everything that we might possibly want to say, for example, about classes, families, and so forth going to be ''exhausted'' in the article about taxons?
