Talk:Schaubia

Felidae not Megatheriidae

Why would Schaubia redirect to Eremotherium? Based on what I could find, "Schaubia" was a genus of Felidae1 2, not Megatheriidae. Afro-Eurasian (talk) 07:28, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That is why redirects go to WP:RFD, rather than hoodwinking admins into speedy deleting pages under article criteria which were not articles. Have you tried to discuss with the redirect's creator, User:FunkMonk? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:36, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what's going on: http://fossilworks.org/?a=taxonInfo&taxon_no=43611 FunkMonk (talk) 12:48, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm... That's odd. So how would we go about determining which is correct? Or would both be correct? This has never happened to me before, so I don't know what do to. Afro-Eurasian (talk) 19:04, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Could be a preoccupied name. Seems two different animals were named that the same year?[1] FunkMonk (talk) 19:09, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to be the case. Perhaps Schaubia should be disambiguation page? Afro-Eurasian (talk) 18:16, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It depends on which name that was published first. FunkMonk (talk) 18:13, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
