[edit] Roachoids

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Roachoids, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Roachoids.

Hi Petter, about the above. I still feel that the article is not useful. The term can be introduced into the Dictyoptera or Blattidae article but as a separate item, I think there is little reason for. If it were an article one would expect for instance what the diagnostic characters of Roachoids are, what is the fossil range, where are the fossils from, why are they not classifiable into existing families etc. Cheers Shyamal (talk) 01:33, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi Shyamal! As of now, the "roachid" is just a redirect to Blattoptera. If you feel it's not needed, by all means go ahead and delete it. Thank you for helping out with the Blattoptera article!Petter Bøckman (talk) 05:47, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
