Requested Move (2005)

On all of these, why? Neither name seems significantly more common, and Wikipedia has many flora and fauna articles at their common names instead of their Latin/binomial names.

Well, most of the other species I've looked at have been listed under the scientific name, which appeals to me as a biologist. If it's not standard practice, though, it could be left as is. Draeco 17:55, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Request not fulfilled due to lack of consensus. Rob Church ^Talk 12:52, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: To be merged into Wisteria frutescens. There seems to be consensus for this. @Casliber: thanks for volunteering to do the merge. Are you still happy to do that? If so, please go ahead, and let me know. Othersise, I'll have a look in the next few days. (non-admin closure) — Amakuru (talk) 10:41, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wisteria macrostachya → ? – The page should probably move to "Wisteria frutescens var. macrostachya" or alternatively, be merged with "Wisteria frutescens", which is better? MCEllis (talk) 00:12, 22 February 2016 (UTC) See information below regarding this taxon, currently regarded as a synonym or variety of Wisteria frutescens by the vast majority of authorities:[reply]

Alternatively, we can leave the page here, with Tropicos as the reference for the Wisteria macrostachya name. I noticed all references on the article are from the 1980s. It's important to keep in mind that many names have changed since then.--MCEllis (talk) 00:14, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge I'm inclined to go with The Plant List/ILDIS which don't recognize it as a distinct variety. Aside from that, I'm not convinced that it's generally useful to have separate articles for infraspecific taxa; they can be handled in the article on the species.

happy to merge unless there is a huge amount of info. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:48, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
