The result was redirect to Taxonomic database. It does not appear more input is forthcoming and both !votes appear to agree there's a connection rendering this a viable search. History is under the redirect if someome wants to perform it as there's no argument to delete the content. Star Mississippi 01:56, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All branches of science use the web to some extent. There are no articles for Web-based biology, Web-based chemistry, or any Web-based science. Sean Brunnock (talk) 10:54, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Partial merge I agree with OP that this is not an encyclopedic item per se - it is "use of the internet in taxonomy", which is covered to some extent (and can be expanded) at Taxonomic database. Based on what's currently in the article, the one thing that appears to be worth merging is mention of the 2002 Nature opinion article [1], which is highly cited and got a bit of direct response [2]; that's worth a sentence or two. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:36, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As far as a merge, let nature take its course, if it's worthy of a mention it will show up in other articles such as Taxonomic database. Jacona (talk) 14:35, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
