Redirect proposal

The majority of these ant articles simply state "Myrmica speciesname is a species of ant." I think those ones should be redirected here. Any objections or support for this?--ragesoss 20:30, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've only just seen this comment, a few days too late, but yes, I completely agree, and I've already done it. I've left any articles which said more than that, and any with references, but that didn't leave many. --Stemonitis 12:49, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't disagree that they should say more than that one sentence, but I think it would be better if they were simply deleted. Now this page has a large number of redirects to itself, which are frustrating. Rigadoun (talk) 16:22, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i would also propose deleting them for now. i tried to tag them via awb, but it cannot cope with redirects, so i gave up. dead redirects are bad, it's a waste of time, and nobody can see what needs to be done. --Sarefo (talk) 22:34, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I started a thread at Wikipedia_talk:Redirects_for_discussion#redirects_to_Myrmica to see if anyone could think how to list them properly for deletion easily. Rigadoun (talk) 15:49, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
