Tenerus (beetle) → ? – misleading, because only one taxon exists. Correct is Tenerus (genus) Estopedist1 (talk) 10:08, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I strongly oppose these attempts to make disambiguations MORE ambiguous. PLEASE stop proposing these moves, or attempting to revert them. Dozens of other editors are trying very hard to refine these article titles, and you are threatening to undo all of our hard work. Let me propose a simple rule of thumb: a disambiguation should not refer to any rank higher than an order, UNLESS that order has no single, universal common name. So, for example, all beetle names would say "Xxxxx (beetle)" but if the order was Neuroptera, which has no single common name for all its members, then you would use "Yyyyy (insect)". Yes, there are some older articles created that use "Zzzzz (genus)", but I and other editors are gradually rplcing those with more refined titles, rather than making the titles LESS informative, as you are trying to do.

  • Oppose, "Tenerus (beetle)" is clearer than "Tenerus (genus)" while being just as concise. Adumbrativus (talk) 10:14, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
