Good article problems
As shown in the header and the archived talk page this was previously a WP:Good article, but was removed in 2007 due to a lack of inline citations. I suspect that is not the only issue keeping the article from getting back to GA status and I would like to hear from other interested editors what they see as the parts of the article that need to be moved to other pages, deleted entirely, or are missing to get this back to being a Good Article. This is one of the most beloved and famous of all the plant species, it is a shame it is not better quality.
Previously there was a lot of discussion about the name of the page. A gap I see is the lack of a subsection under "Taxonomy" that would discuss the common names somewhat in depth including confusion with the giant sequoia for anyone wondering why this is.
There are also still a lot of paragraphs that lack citations even though we have 78 references. E.g. the (to paraphrase) "It grew in LA during the ice age" claim under distribution. đżMtBotany (talk) 00:39, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Seto porcelain clay Formation
Template:Yo Miki 1944 is not acceptable as its outdated and a VERY brief search shows it. This paper on page 16 footnote 2 it specifically calls out that Miki transferred the fossils from Sequoia sempervirens EndlScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". to Sequoia couttisie Heer (sic -S. couttsiae) in 1965. After that transfer we have the change in generic placement of "S". couttsiae to become the type species of Quasisequoia as Q. couttsiae (Heer), L. Kunzmann, 1999Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".. All while the fossils themselves have not been reexamined and restudied since at least 1965 if not since Miki's initial work in the early 1940's. Fossil plants are much more convoluted then fossil animals and you have to be VERY diligent with researching before you add statements to articles.--22:59, 24 May 2025 (UTC) Kevmin § 22:59, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
