Hi Sm8900, this article is currently below 500 characters of text length. The minimum for DYK is 1500. Happy to take another look if/when it is expanded, if you could ping me. Thanks - Dumelow (talk) 09:07, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

that sounds fine. I appreciate your help. thanks, To editor Dumelow:. Sm8900 (talk) 19:12, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I will add that we already have an article on Sulfur-reducing bacteria, although the content of the nominated page is actually about Sulfate-reducing bacteria. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:22, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The nomination is on hold until the merge proposal is settled. Graeme Bartlett, the Sulfate-reducing bacteria link redirects to Sulfate-reducing microorganisms—the article was moved back in 2017—so I'd like to suggest that you update the merge template, and also start a discussion on whichever talk page it links to, since a merge proposal is never going to go anywhere without a place to discuss it and come to consensus.

The discussion was already here: Talk:Sulfur-breathing organisms#Merge. I have now added a header to make the discussion distinct from this transcluded DYKN. I have updated the merge template as you suggest. CatPath agreed and already transferred content. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:36, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have performed the merger so marking this for closure. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:18, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We already have articles on this topic. The references in this article are talking about Sulfate-reducing bacteria. However the title suggests Sulfur-reducing bacteria. So I recommend that this page is redirected to Sulfur-reducing bacteria and that any good content is transferred to Sulfate-reducing bacteria. I nearly just redirected this, but it is possible that some content is not just WP:Undue but worth preserving. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:20, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I summarized the content in brief form in the article Sulfate-reducing bacteria: [1]. I agree that this page should be redirected to Sulfur-reducing bacteria. CatPath (talk) 20:32, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
