Mostly or entirely redundant with Category:Bacteria. Also, Category:Deinococcus-Thermus, since there are only two listed species so it is not really necessary at the moment. Josh 20:08, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep. Prokaryotes in any case - arguments as by Postdlf. /Tuomas 11:57, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

According to prokaryotes most are bacteria, and the terms are often treated as synonyms. Otherwise the prokaryotes are divided only into the Bacteria and Archaea, and these are usually treated as top-level groups. So prokaryotes aren't a logical parent since they aren't a separate layer in most classifications, and will only include two to five articles - I think the category is essentially full now, plus Spirulina really belongs lower down. I won't revert, but I strongly suggest you reconsider. Josh
