Talk:Culicoides

Merger proposal
Hello. I think we should consider merging Culicoides annettae, Culicoides chaverrii, Culicoides cummingi and all the other Culicoides stubs into the main article, Culicoides. Since the individual stubs consist of barely a line of text each, it would be more practical for readers to find all the information centralised in just one article. What do you think?--Leptictidium (mt) 19:49, 8 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes. Please do. The stubs provide next to nothing and the species names and distribution would better fit in a list or table in the Genus article.  Velella  Velella Talk 20:04, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
 * , creator of these articles, what do you think?--Leptictidium (mt) 21:25, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm of the stream of thought that species deserve separate articles, however if little literature can be found on them, then sadly they ought to be merged. Cheers, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 21:32, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
 * By definition any species needs to have a scientific description - all of these insects will have them somewhere - these can be hard to find with google or google scholar, but they exist. Species are regarded by all as a pretty basic unit so I suspect there would not be a consensus to merge. Have you tried looking for information already?

 * I will be adding species descriptions to some, as I always try to in general. Some are under paywall or unavailable, but the potential's always there! FoCuS contribs ;  talk to me!  21:54, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
