Prion
I would like to delete
prion from this template, as these protein (polypeptides) particles are not living nor considered living by any fringe research group.

Yes, it was never my intention to suggest they are living. This is where it gets pedantic: by my understanding only life can be described as living. The group 'life' is included in this template, but only includes bacteria, archae, and eukaryota. Therefore it is implied that every other item is merely a comparable organic structure, but not living.

Shouldn't the
nanobes and
nanobacteria be added to this template (... and comparable organic structers) in some way?

Question mark after Nanobe
Hey,
Why is there a question mark after Nanobe? Is it because the classification is debated?
Thank you so much!
Sincerely,

Same question. I think we should take it out or clarify what it supposed to mean.
Hi. I added the "?" because, if I understand correctly, the nanobe hypothesis is a very controversial and tentative interpretation of fossil evidence, and in reality these structures may not actually be an example life, non-cellular life, or even a comparable structure.
