List of semiaquatic tetrapods[edit]

This is just an incomprehensible list with very unclear inclusion criteria. As noted at Talk:List_of_semiaquatic_tetrapods#Better,_referenced_criteria_for_"Semiaquatic", what counts as "semi-aquatic"? Are seals and penguins semi-aquatic because they occasionally come onto land, are elephants and humans semi-aquatic because they sometimes swim? As far as I can tell, there are no sources that discuss semiaquatic taxa in a list like this, and therefore this fails WP:LISTN. Hemiauchenia (talk) 14:15, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Unclear how being able to swim e.g. humans and Crab-eating macaques makes something semiaquatic. Perhaps examples on Semiaquatic could be lengthened, but this list is far too vague. Reywas92^Talk 16:54, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Seems to violate WP:INDISCRIMINATE by being a list that isn't necessarily about an encyclopedic intersection, i.e. "List of runners with brown hair" or "List of old ladies with green cars". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:48, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete for violating WP:INDISCRIMINATE, the classification of "semiaquatic" does not designate any meaningful group. Happy editing, SilverTiger12 (talk) 00:19, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
