Merge into genus page, species-level taxonomic problems with very few exceptions can always be addressed at the genus level by
WP:paleoproject standards.

As is recommended for short prehistoric species articles.

Comment Would only be a temporary fix as if the Cosmopolitodus article is revisited, it's likely better off sunk into Carcharodon. In that case, the individual species articles would have to be resurrected. In addition, not everyone thinks reassigning planus into Cosmopolitodus/Carcharodon is the best choice; Malyshkina et al. (2022) thinks the species is too ambiguous to clearly assign to any genera atm. Considering there's a new argument that C. subserratus/escheri isn't a Carcharodon but a convergent evolution attempt by shortfin makos, I wouldn't be surprised if the paradigm shifts that way for planus too.

Does sound complicated. Any chance for a new genus?
