What should I do?

Speedy deletions at commons tend to take longer than they do on Wikipedia, so there is no rush to respond. If you feel the deletion can be contested then please do so (commons:COM:SPEEDY has further information). Otherwise consider finding a replacement image before deletion occurs.

Sloth or anteater extinction[edit]

The article states (in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mammals_of_South_America#Order:_Pilosa_(sloths_and_anteaters)) that "Numerous ground sloths, some of which reached the size of elephants, were once present in both North and South America, as well as on the Antilles. ... All of these went extinct following the arrival of humans."
Yet none of the listed sloths are marked as EXtinct. Have the extinct sloths not been added for some reason or is the last part of the statement false?
(other extinct species have been added to the list of other orders and marked extinct such as - Vespucci's rodent, †Noronhomys vespuccii EX ) 109.186.236.239 (talk) 02:49, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's talking about GROUND sloths. The giant sloths that were primarily land dwellers and not tree dwellers. J0ngM0ng (talk) 03:54, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If they are a suborder of Pilosa, why not list them (see my prev remark about vespuci's rodents)?
If they are not, why mention them here?
And if you still think they should be mentioned even if not a suborder, at least stress/mention this fact. --109.186.243.96 (talk) 13:19, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
