Proposed deletion

[edit]

I believe that this was an unwarranted deletion request, as there are many reasons for not deleting this article. Argyrosauridae is indeed a named clade, so even if the notability of the article is contested, a redirect, not a deletion, should be requested. Thomas R. Holtz Jr. is a well-known and respectable palaeontologist, and has many publications behind him. His taxonomy is not unique as many authors (like sauropod palaeontologists Kristina Curry-Rogers and Nicole Klein) have found conclusions similar to him. Jeffrey A. Wilson, and Paul Sereno have also done a great deal of sauropod research, and named Argyrosauridae, which as of this writing is considered a valid family. I think that this page, while possibly not citing the correct sources, has more merit than some other disputed groupings, and should not be deleted. IJReid (talk) 19:41, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
