Decoy-building spider → Decoy spiders – The current name may mislead that the article is about a single specific spider, e.g. Jumping spider, rather than a behavior of multiple species. Also, "Decoy spider" is the WP:COMMONNAME.  J ET H 888 message me  17:50, 1 September 2021 (UTC) — Relisting.  ASUKITE  18:59, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * If moved it should probably be Decoy spider (singular) per WP:PLURAL.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 07:04, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Skeptical: The suggested title makes it sound like the topic is the decoys that are built rather than the spiders that build them. On the other hand, I didn't find the phrase "decoy-building spider" in any of the cited sources. —&#8288;&#8202;&#8288;BarrelProof (talk) 02:28, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * When I looked into this a few weeks ago, my conclusion was that this is an invented descriptive term from a few pop-sci articles and is not used elsewhere. It's not an independent subject and the content should be merged into Cyclosa, where the discussed species are classified. I had planned to do this, but other things came up and in any case I won't while the discussion is active. —&#8239; The Earwig (talk) 03:00, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Merging it into Cyclosa seems like a good idea. —&#8288;&#8202;&#8288;BarrelProof (talk) 00:11, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Merge into Cyclosa – we risk spreading a little used and poorly sourced name. Peter coxhead (talk) 20:08, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
