Merger proposal[edit]
Hello wikipedians! I'm proposing the possibility of merging Drapetodes deumbrata into this article, Drepanidae. I think that, since both of these articles are stubs, that Drepanidae is a family of Drapetodes deumbrata, and that Drepanidae is a more complete article, that they should be merged together under one article that's just called Drepanidae. Once more moth types are added to the main article, including Drapetodes deumbrata, readers can gain a more clear, non-fragmented picture of this topic, without going to three-sentence stub articles. As always, let me know what you think of this proposal in this talk page, and, if you want to be bold you can always help by merging it yourself if there aren't any disagreements and I haven't gotten around to it! ~the.one.and.the.only~ (talk) 03:50, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
- Extant species almost invariably get their own articles (as opposed to extinct ones); hence species lists in genus articles are always set up as redlinks, in the expectation that articles will be created eventually. So no, merging this is not something we'd normally do, and I see no specific reason to do it in this case. It would be particularly inadvisable to try and merge this to a family article given that there are dozens and dozens of genera! But even merging to Drapetodes does not make sense. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:16, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
- Ah, okay! It looks like I was not familiar with best practices on these types of articles - thanks for the clarification and context! ~the.one.and.the.only~ (talk) 19:41, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
- I'm taking off the merge notice then, if you don't mind :) --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 21:30, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
- sounds good! ~the.one.and.the.only~ (talk) 16:36, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
