Bad source

The last time that I edited out a source somebody got really upset. In this case, footnote 8 is extraordinarily weak, referring to a secondary source which wax not itself properly referenced. If I get round to it, I will come back to this page in a while and remove it. Nakashchit (talk) 13:15, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

List of animals of Malaysia was proposed for a merge to here last year. I can see why, given that the list is short. Perhaps it is best placed here as a section rather than a stand-alone page. Klbrain (talk) 22:40, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's certainly short, but I'm not convinced a list fits within the format of this page. Ideally I think, that list would be expanded. Given Malaysia is a megadiverse country, there is surely the scope for a list that's far too long. As an example, there's about a million separate lists of Australian animals.

Closing, given the uncontested objection and no support. Klbrain (talk) 21:35, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
