Talk:Available name

Question from confused botanist
Can someone add some links to appropriate parts of the zoological code for the statement that an available name must "be published in a timely fashion by a reputable source"? That seems so completely different from the spirit of the botanical code, that it would be interesting to see what is involved. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 16:46, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Unavailable name into Available name
Should be the same article (one is opposite of the other), but separate wikidata items (like it already is). Artoria2e5 🌉 16:10, 12 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Also, the polarity of the merge should be as you have proposed it; there are many fewer unique links to Unavailable name than to Available name, so there will be less confusion and link editing needed that way. My inclination at this point is to agree with the merge proposal. Dyanega (talk) 17:10, 12 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Support - no need to keep these strictly interrelated terms separate, especially when the articles are this short. FunkMonk (talk) 15:08, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
