Talk:Equus alaskae

Why merge?
Hey Montanabw, I see that you have suggested to merge this article with Equus conversidens- what were your justifications, may I ask? I have found more recent sources, as listed, which not only justify Equus alaskae, but even list Equus conversidens as a synonym of E. alaskae. Due to the contentious nature of equiid palaeontology in the Americas, I would consider both articles as legitimate. SuperTah (talk) 02:15, 27 May 2016 (UTC)


 * My position is that if they are the same species or subspecies, there should only be one article. I have no strong views on which title it should be, though it appears that some of the mexicanus subspecies might also be listed as conversidens. I am aware that there is a lot of disagreement, but content forks don't help.  At a minimum, if the articles are not merged, then the controversy should be mentioned with a cross-link to the other article.   Montanabw (talk)  23:20, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
