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]
