Correct name for Brachylophosaurini

According to McFeeters et al. 2021, the correct name for the tribe containing Maiasaura, Brachylophosaurus, and other similar taxa should be Maiasaurini, based on ICZN rules. Should there be a name change for this page? Meekororum (talk) 10:46, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

They are incorrect in their use; the 1992 paper they cite for this only used Maiasaurinae, it did not validly coin it. "Maiasaurini" is not validly coined and I do not think it will catch on, not a good idea to change this off a few papers with an easily disproven notion.

@LittleLazyLass: Does Horner 1992 mention anything about Maiasaurinae being a new clade? If so, it technically is a new clade under ICZN rules, specifically ICZN article 13.1.3.Meekororum (talk) 22:53, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
