Talk:suprageneric name
The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).
It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.
I can also cite suprafamilial name, infrageneric name, supergeneric name, etc. The core part of these terms is in the adjective (suprageneric: "Pertaining to a taxon at a rank above that of a genus."). The sum-of-parts-ness is illustrated in the example sentence "A family name is a suprageneric name, and so is a subfamily name", where it simply means "a name that is suprageneric". There are nuances demonstrated at species name. However, I do not find it fruitful to create an entry for every single adjective combination possible, as, at suprageneric name, there is nothing to learn. Contrary to what the definition says, the results in Google Books do not refer to taxa themselves but rather to names used for taxa. I think that suprageneric name is straying too far from usefulness. Nibiko (talk) 13:10, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. a suprageneric name is just a name used for suprageneric taxa, used in suprageneric classification. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:54, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
