Excessive detail in the sub-articles on each kingdom?

[edit]

The articles

all include extensive lists of binomial names, wikilinked to the corresponding species. I can't read Latin, but I took a look at the BHL link, and it seems to me that these lists effectively copy/translate the book, in a manner that seems more appropriate at (say) WikiSource.

I do think there's probably enough secondary literature to maintain pages for each kingdom, and we should probably mention some of the ways in which Linné's initial taxonomy differs from the modern in each kingdom. But does it make sense to mention in this encyclopedia each and every species Linné listed? Bernanke's Crossbow (talk) 06:34, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the lists are not appropriate in the sub-articles. There's a case for a separate list article with subsections, I think. Peter coxhead (talk) 08:05, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
