Gambusia dominicensis → Dominican gambusia – Fauna should use their common names for article titles Ddum5347 (talk) 02:01, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:08, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Controversial move, and NOT supported by naming rules or guidelines, which is to use the most commonly used, citable unambiguous name. This includes the binomial or trinomial. This user has been warned about making page moves before to made up names.--Kev min § 04:30, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Again, NOT a made-up name. The name "Dominican gambusia" has been used to describe this species. Ddum5347 (talk) 18:27, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose but would not object to relisting. On 15:48, 11 August 2020‎ User:Hyperik moved page Dominican gambusia to Gambusia dominicensis over redirect with edit summary the most commonly used name in reliable sources. But neither they nor current nom have provided any evidence, and we should not move again without it. Both references use the current name. Andrewa (talk) 10:12, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
