Rana archotaphus → Amolops archotaphus –
 * Per [Amphibian Species of the World] Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 09:49, 5 July 2012 (UTC) 88.148.211.148 (talk) 21:21, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comments: Both names seem to show up in web searches, but it is not clear to me which is more common. Is there some neo-classification here, or some argument between different taxonomists? Presumably, whichever name this ultimately gets, there should be a redirect from the alternative name. But do we need an article on every species on the planet? Is that the Wikipedia current practice? My understanding is that inclusion of something as one item in a huge list is not ordinarily considered as adequate evidence of WP:NOTABILITY. Is this article likely to ever become more than a few sentences long? —BarrelProof (talk) 06:45, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * And how about Rana daorum, Rana iriodes, and Rana taiwaniana? Those also seem to appear in the list on the Amolops page. —BarrelProof (talk) 06:54, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Note: If you click on the species name in the reference that you provided, you will see that there are actually 4 different names cited. It lists the name that you suggested as a "provisional suggestion", not as the well-agreed classification, so it does not seem clear (to me) that the change is necessary or appropriate at this time. —BarrelProof (talk) 22:42, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Left a note about this at WT:AAR. Jenks24 (talk) 11:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I can see that both IUCN and AMNH give Amolops archotaphus as the current scientific naming. However according to WP:FNAME the common name Doi Inthanon Rock Frog should be used. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 13:06, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
