Glyphis siamensis → Irrawaddy river shark – Article was originally moved to the scientific name with the justification "known from one specimen. The scientific name is the common name." However, this is not supported by naming policy for fauna, which advocates using the common name. The common name "Irrawaddy river shark" for this species appears in multiple reliable sources, e.g. FishBase and IUCN. The fact that it's known from a single specimen is immaterial and the article should be back under the common name. --Relisted.
