Fish owl → Ketupa – IOC 13.1 moved 9 species from Bubo to this genus. Of the 12 species now placed here, 8 have "eagle-owl" in their common name and none of these normally eat fish. I propose that this article is moved to the genus name Ketupa. Aa77zz (talk) 15:55, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Fine by me, makes sense. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 18:58, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree. Given that the genus now contains more NON fish owls than fish owls, this makes sense. Fish owl should definitely be a redirect though — and a good explanation given in the article as to why using the genus name as the article title is necessary (contra the WP:COMMONNAME argument).

 * Support, though the redirect and explanation will be needed. SilverTiger12 (talk) 14:11, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
