Aplothorax burchelli

The carabid beetle Aplothorax burchelli, of Saint Helena (listed as extinct in this article), is not on the IUCN Red List, nor is it listed in ITIS. The website Carabidae.org likewise does not mention extinction. Therefore, I would like to know the basic criteria for including an organism in this article on extinct African animals. If this animal does not meet those criteria, then I will remove it and any other animals which fail to qualify from this article.--Quisqualis (talk) 18:16, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

African?

This article purpotedly lists African animals which have gone extinct. Why then, do the tables contain animals whose range is given as the UK, France, and Spain?

Zoogeography vs geopolictics: these islands belong to the African zoogeographical region but are politically connected to European nations. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:02, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Missing extinct Late Pleistocene-Holocene genera

I saw the following message in the edit history of List of African animals extinct in the Holocene (dated 4 April 2023). I figured that more people would see it if I included it in the talk page.

According to "Late Pleistocene and Holocene mammal extinctions on continental Africa," this page is missing several species and genera on this page, namely ''Rusingoryx'', ''Metridiochoerus'', ''Kolpochoerus'', ''Elephas iolensis'', ''Camelus sp.'', etc. Busy right now, so anyone's up for expanding the table, use the mentioned source.

The source in question appears to be: [1] Columbianmammoth (talk) 08:51, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All of those appear to have gone extinct in the Pleistocene. Sometimes even early or middle Pleistocene.--Menah the Great (talk) 01:23, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clarifying this. It looks like you're right. Columbianmammoth (talk) 04:25, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
