Athene (bird) → Athene (genus) – More specific and unambiguous disambiguation per WP:NCDAB. Brandmeistertalk  21:36, 7 March 2019 (UTC) --Relisting.   SITH   (talk)   21:58, 14 March 2019 (UTC)  --Relisting.   SITH   (talk)   22:18, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:PRECISE and WP:CONSISTENCY. Using "(genus)" is our standard disambiguation for genera, and using "(bird)" very strongly implies and individual notable bird named "Athene" – the "Animalname (species)" pattern is used almost exclusively for that (see all our disambiguated articles on notable dogs, horses, yadda yadda).  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  21:57, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
 * 'Oppose "(genus)" is not the standard for disambiguation for genera (it may have been at one time, but "(genus)" disambiguators have been declining for  years). The single most common reason for title conflicts with animal genera is a plant/algae/fungus genus with the same name. While there isn't another genus Athene in this particular case, "(genus)" can not be used consistently as a disambiguator due to cases such as Zenobia, Eremophila, Newtonia (and more at Category:Genus disambiguation pages). WikiProject Birds uses "(genus)" for 44 articles and "(bird)" for 95 articles. I would expect an article on an individual notable bird to use a more specific disambiguator such as "(pigeon)" or "(penguin)". Plantdrew (talk) 23:27, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
