The result of this discussion was uniform support for the merges to proceed. A Cynical Idealist (talk) 05:06, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Per the discussion at WT:DINO, in an attempt to streamline the organization of higher-order clades, these merges are proposed for the following reasons:

  1. The articles to be merged are stubs.
  2. The articles to be merged are node-based clades with very little independent content that could be added in the foreseeable future to expand them. (WP:N)
  3. All of the information in these two articles are relevant to discussion of rebbachisaurid classification, which is already covered by the article Rebbachisauridae. (WP:REDUNDANT)
  4. "Rebbachisauridae" has over 450 results on google scholar vs only 11 for "Khebbashia" and 22 for "Rebbachisaurinae". In fact, a search for "Rebbachisaurinae" will return, "Did you mean 'Rebbachisauridae'?". (WP:N)
  5. Similar sub-family-level taxa with low species counts already exist as solo articles (i.e. Pachycephalosauria, Heterodontosauridae, Megalosauridae, Alvarezsauridae, Oviraptoridae, etc.), and this merge would improve article format consistency for WP:DINO.
