Nasrullah’s leaf-toed gecko → Asaccus nasrullahi – The most common, precise name. Hyperik ⌜talk⌟ 16:00, 20 January 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. samee converse 20:49, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I usually take the tact of using the english name if there is only one unambiguous english name. Many of these species either have only scientific names, or multiple english names, in which I default to the scientific name. Many of the pages have been set up with scientific name titles, with no english name redirects, so its nearly impossible to determine what is most popular. These pages also don't get a lot of looks. Since we serve primariy the public, and not the scientific community, my preference is to use english names whenever possible. Also, if people search by the genus page, there will also be a skew toward the scientific name. Again, these pages have so few clicks, its almost impossible to determine preference....Pvmoutside (talk) 16:46, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Vernacular name far less frequently used than scientific name. The species doesn't occur in any English speaking country and was only recently discovered; there's no reason to expect it to have a commonly used English language vernacular name. Plantdrew (talk) 23:58, 4 February 2019 (UTC), per Plantdrew. There is not really a common name in English. bd2412 T 21:53, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
