Talk:Gekkota

Merger proposal
Should this article be merged with Gecko? See Talk:Gecko FelixReimann (talk) 12:08, 18 April 2013 (UTC)


 * This page was formally proposed by Arjuno3 (21 March 2016) for merger with Gecko.


 * But the answer is do not merge. Because gecko is only one of the seven families under Gekkota, a valid suborder. Meaning that Wikilink from each family will redirect to gecko, which is absurd. Each taxon requires/derserves a separate page, unless it is monotypic. Chhandama (talk) 03:13, 9 June 2017 (UTC) Merge is my new opinion because, upon careful observation, the two pages are about the same thing really. And I thought they were about different taxons.

 * Oppose Are Pygopodidae species (legless lizards) really considered to be geckos? Mos definitions of gecko I've found restrict it to Gekkonidae. Calling the entire suborder Gekkota geckos appears to be a Wikipedia invention not followed elsewhere. Merging gecko/Gekkonidae might be appropriate, but not gecko/Gekkota.
