Talk:Paracanthurus

Other animal articles have little charts showing how endangered they are. Do fish not need this, or is it just not a requirement for any animal article? -dogman15 03:20, 6 March 2007 (UTC) there aremany different types of these fish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.205.7.144 (talk) 20:18, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Many fish do have a conservation status, but this species hasn't been assessed by IUCN Red List (yet), sorry. —Pengo 12:17, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Paracanthurus → Paracanthurus hepatus – This article does not have the full name of this species, just the genus.Lemontiger168 (talk) 01:32, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The current title is in agreement with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (fauna)#Monotypic taxa. Favonian (talk) 09:10, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:FAUNA#Monotypic taxa. If a genus only has one species, than the article is titled after the genus and not the species. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 09:13, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This is a monotypic taxa, there is only one species, so no need to add the specific epithet. —innotata 20:31, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
