Redundant class of articles[edit]

Isn't any Wikipedia article of the type "List of species in genus X" redundant because the genus's article lists the species? For example, Candida (fungus)#Species. Quercus solaris (talk) 00:02, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are some things on this list not found there, and somethings there not found here. I assume a complete list of every possible type would be too long, that why they put things like this in separate articles. Dream Focus 02:18, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It depends on the genus. With 2000+ species, it's better to have List of Bulbophyllum species rather than listing all the species in the Bulbophyllum article. That is an extreme example, and I'm not really sure when to say a genus has too species to list in the genus article rather than a stand alone list, but stand alone lists can be appropriate. However, I don't think Candida is too large to list species in the genus article. Plantdrew (talk) 16:17, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the input. No objection from me either way. I guess WP:Summary style and Template:Main are applicable when a full list exists beyond the genus article. Regards, Quercus solaris (talk) 22:09, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
