Talk:Benzamide

List of derivatives

@Smokefoot:, Can you explain why you had removed the list of benzamide derivatives in this edit? I think you may have thought that lists are meant for list-class articles, but this list is not that long, at least in the desktop version. —CrafterNova ^{[ TALK ] [ CONT ]} 17:24, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

First, thanks for asking. Looks like a dumb move on my part. I was probably thinking that it would be impossible to list all benzamides. But the list is more specific. Thanks for pointing out this issue. --Smokefoot (talk) 20:25, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Smokefoot: No problem. If the list becomes too long,
there are 2 possibilities:

the list can be copied and pasted into a list of chemical derivatives in a section named benzamides. If it is done so, list of chemical derivatives can be incorporated into the Chemistry section of List of lists of lists.
the list can be copied into Benzamides which can be expanded into an article about benzamides as a class of organic compounds in general. —CrafterNova ^{[ TALK ] [ CONT ]} 07:00, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IIRC, this type of uncited/non-RS-cited list is typical of a certain LTA. If there are chemicals that are structurally in the "benzamides" class, then that sounds like a good use of a category (I dislike list-of for mindless substructure-analysis but others might prefer that approach). If there are a secondary-source citable subset that are of interest for some reason, then that needs the cite in order to cherry-pick them into an article.
