The result of the move request was: not moved. No consensus formed or likely for the proposed move, nor any case for it that I can see. I have however boldly made the case change suggested, which required no admin powers and is in accordance with the guideline cited. Andrewa (talk) 00:56, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Trinidad Dog-like Bat → Peropteryx trinitatis – There are four other languages that have the Trinidad Dog-like Bat as a page, and they are all under the scientific name of Peropteryx trinitatis. I am, in addition, the only editor to the English Wikipedia page for the species, but wanted to see if anyone would object to the transfer. öBrambleberry_{_ meow _ watch me in action} 20:23, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – per WP:FNAME, the common name is generally preferred in English WP. But it needs a case fix to Trinidad dog-like bat. Dicklyon (talk) 01:17, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Common name. Enwiki is not those wikis. Hill Crest's WikiLaser! (BOOM!) 01:52, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
