The title of this article seems focused, but the content seems less so. In this edit I removed some material about severity of S. pyogenes infections generally, some general comments about how such infections are managed, etc. If such material were included for every organism listed, this would be completely unwieldy. I suggest moving toward some standard elements and structure. — soupvector (talk) 03:43, 25 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

I agree with you, User:soupvector and there might even be more text pieces that should be removed. However, rather than completely deleting them, please consider moving them to other relevant articles on Wikipedia, i.e. where the respective diseases are described? E.g. perhaps the sentences that you removed should rather be moved to here?: Streptococcus pyogenes. EMsmile (talk) 23:16, 25 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thanks and I did consider that, but they weren't great sentences anyway, not particularly well-referenced. — soupvector (talk) 02:28, 26 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
