Southern platyfish → Platy — "Platy" gets many, many more Google hits than "southern platyfish". Most aquarium help sites and forums also refer to it simply as "platy", as well as major pet store chains. I tried to move the page over the redirect, but it didn't seem to work. …Grayshi ^{talk ■ my contribs} 02:38, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Articles on fish are usually titled (though I can find no naming convention) based on the name given in FishBase which, in this case, is Southern platyfish. Skinsmoke (talk) 03:34, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose and revert the unilateral move of Platy (disambiguation) from Platy. Since that move by the nominator for this one is clearly related, if this fails, the other should be reverted. It should also be noted that the plural form Platies does not go to the Southern platyfish. 76.66.193.119 (talk) 04:42, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
But that isn't even the right species and shouldn't be redirected there. You haven't given any good reason why you are opposing the move either. …Grayshi ^{talk ■ my contribs} 19:25, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
