Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

This article should not be deleted, but instead be redirected to Pila, because Ampullaria still remains an available name in taxonomy. JoJan (talk) 16:28, 18 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Doing so would have been my first instinct, but not all species that were classed as Ampullaria are now classed as Pila. In fact, a huge plurality of them are classed as Pomacea, which outweighs Pila in both number of species and human significance. --Equivamp - talk 23:17, 18 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Three Ampullaria sub-genera (Limnopomus, Pomacea, and Effusa) have been synonymized with/as Pomacea. Simply saying that Ampullaria is synonymous with Pila is too simplistic and likely misleading, as it leaves out a huge part of the picture. --Equivamp - talk 23:28, 18 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
